On the Web, a user agent is a software agent responsible for retrieving and facilitating end-user interaction with Web content. [1] This includes all web browsers , such as Google Chrome and Safari , some email clients , standalone download managers like youtube-dl , and other command-line utilities like cURL .
The user agent string format is currently specified by section 10.1.5 of HTTP Semantics. The format of the user agent string in HTTP is a list of product tokens (keywords) with optional comments. For example, if a user's product were called WikiBrowser, their user agent string might be WikiBrowser/1.0 Gecko/1.0. The "most important" product ...
Browser sniffing (also known as browser detection) is a set of techniques used in websites and web applications in order to determine the web browser a visitor is using, and to serve browser-appropriate content to the visitor.
A server implements an HSTS policy by supplying a header over an HTTPS connection (HSTS headers over HTTP are ignored). [1] For example, a server could send a header such that future requests to the domain for the next year (max-age is specified in seconds; 31,536,000 is equal to one non-leap year) use only HTTPS: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000.
The Register reported in June 2008 that traffic from AVG Linkscanner, using an IE6 user agent string, outstripped human link clicks by nearly 10 to 1. [1] A user who revisits a site shortly after changing or upgrading browsers may be double-counted under some methods; overall numbers at the time of a new version's release may be skewed. [2]
This XML data is keyed on the User-Agent: header in a web request. Another approach to the problem is to combine real-time derived information, component analysis, manual data and UAProfiles to deal with the actual device itself rather than the idealised representation of "offline" approaches such as UAProf or WURFL.
Fast user switching in Windows is based on Remote Desktop Services technology. [3] In Windows XP, GINA which is a component of Winlogon, and with which fast user switching interacts, can be programmatically called to automate a fast user switch.

It can be random which user script finishes first, creating a race condition. One way to coordinate this is use the mw.hook interface. Perhaps the other script sends a wikipage.content event when it is done, or can be modified to do so (or you can ask the maintainer).
