IE9 doesn't include .NET info in the User Agent - need JavaScript about smallestdotnet

Just fixed this with c197834 (Added Client Side User Fetch).

Currently I'm doing the fetch for all browsers instead of having it done server side. Seems to be the simplest solution.

Cool. We should also have a NOSCRIPT option?

Yea. We could just leave the default in and then replace it with a better result if the user is using javascript?

So add the server side load back in and then have the ajax happen to try and get a better result?

Hm, just realized by moving folders and changing names we may have broken existing sites that use the functionality. I think we'll need a redirect or URL rewrite for the old/original JS .ashx

That's safest, if we can do it in a DRY way.

I'll just adjust the Javascript to see if the UserAgent contains Trident/5.0 which should only be IE9, and only call it if that is the case.

Also it seems that IE 10 doesn't report the CLR information even in navigator.userAgent, is this correct?

IE desktop or IE metro?

Desktop,

Seems fine if I'm in Compatibility Mode
