This is pretty old, but I haven't seen any response to this.

I noticed that Chrome browser gets identified as Safari in IRStats2. The user agent string from my Chrome browser is :

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/45.0.2454.93 Safari/537.36

I don’t have Safari on my computer, but from what I gather from Google, Safari’s user agent looks like this:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_2) AppleWebKit/600.3.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0.3 Safari/600.3.18

Anyone here knows how to modify “Browsers.pm” to distinguish the two browsers?

Thanks!

Hi,

I think that the IRStats' browser detection isn't working properly. At the very very top of the ranking, I have "Apple Safari" and "MIExplorer", ¿Firefox? in the middle and at the end ¿Chrome?. It's weird ....

Some days ago, when I looked some items with few downloads, I realized that some of them showed more downloads than countries-downloads. I think IRStats2 can't resolve some IPs as countries or unknown-countries, can be?. (I use country.pm with this patch

https://github.com/eprints/irstats2/commit/cdeb3281694ff1eee3d4f97660560aa4ef3cd30c)

I running IRStats1 too and it's works fine.

Regards,

Cristian
