Browscap.ini ProjectWelcome to the home of the HPC Factor Browscap project. The aim of the browscap.ini project is to aid web developers to better log site visits by Windows CE based PDA's.

For example, the browscap.ini file can tell the web server:
Some Internet Traffic analysis software also may make use of the Browscap.ini file when analysing the log files of a Microsoft Web Server, although its primary use is in serving Active Server Pages (.asp's).
The currently available
information provided by Microsoft and CyScape (Company Officially charged with
keeping the listing up-to-date) was only renewed in February 2000. Even up to
this date the content for Windows CE based device listings is out of date. There are no listings available for newer devices such as Tablet PC's and for the Pocket PC 2003 range. This site aims to provide Web Developers with up-to-date
Windows CE Browscap.ini content.
