This function is a simple and fast routine to detect whether HTTP client is a
GUI browser (like Chrome or Firefox), a text-based browser (like Lynx or Links),
or neither (like curl or LWP). Extra information can be provided in the future.

Currently these heuristic rules are used:

* check popular browser markers in User-Agent header (e.g. 'Chrome', 'Opera');
* check Accept header for 'image/';

It is several times faster than the other equivalent Perl modules, this is
because it does significantly less.

=head1 NAME

SHARYANTO::HTTP::DetectUA::Simple - A very simple and generic browser detection library

=head1 VERSION

version 0.70

=head1 DESCRIPTION


I needed a simple and fast routine which can detect whether HTTP client is a GUI
browser (like Chrome or Firefox), a text browser (like Lynx or Links), or
neither (like curl, or L). Hence, this module.

=head1 FUNCTIONS


=head2 detect_http_ua_simple(@args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Detect whether HTTP client is a GUI/TUI browser.

This function is a simple and fast routine to detect whether HTTP client is a
GUI browser (like Chrome or Firefox), a text-based browser (like Lynx or Links),
or neither (like curl or LWP). Extra information can be provided in the future.

Currently these heuristic rules are used:

=over

=item *

check popular browser markers in User-Agent header (e.g. 'Chrome', 'Opera');


=item *

check Accept header for 'image/';


=back

It is several times faster than the other equivalent Perl modules, this is
because it does significantly less.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

=over 4

=item * B<env> => I<any>

CGI-compatible environment, e.g. \%ENV or PSGI's $env.

=back

Return value:

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code
(200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element
(msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is
200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth
element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash
that contains extra information.
