Running xxx build on US NT4, and going to the URL http://rocknroll/users/nhotta/publish/html/nav_obj.html it returns: navigator.appVersion=5 navigator.platform=Win95 navigator.language=en navigator.userAgent=Mozilla/5.0 [en] (Win95; I) screen.width=-1 screen.height=-1 screen.pixelDepth=-1 bits screen.colorDepth=-1 bits, 0.5 colors but the platform is NT4, not Win95. I tried this on 4.51 and it returns "Win32". Better, but not very precise...

I'm just getting this from the nsINetService interface. Reassigning to the netlib guys.

Verify in necko.

as it stands right now, necko will return null for all user agent components; they aren't being initialized right now. How do we want to init them now that they're in necko (pure xp code)? In the old world the FE would set the various pieces as they are FE dependent. I suppose I should just have the code that is setting them now grab an nsINetService and set them that way, but there are two problems with that: 1. Before any urls are loaded we have to be sure that they get set via nsINetService. 2. How do we protect ourselves from some rogue code grabbing the nsINetService and changing the values? (there is a certain portion of the UA string that is static and will act as our brand).
