Hi,
I have a web application, which needs to render a custom page, for some specific machines. I am having internet explorer as the browser in those machine.
Following was my approach, Prior to upgrading those machines with IE-10:
-> Created a 'Post Platform' folder, under the registry as
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform
-> Added new custom String value in the above registry folder:
Ex: 'CUSTOM_STRING' was the key
-> For any request from the browser, the custom string was reflected in the 'User-Agent' as:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; CUSTOM_STRING)
Issue with IE 10:
With IE10 + Windows 64 bit combination, the custom string is not getting appended in the User-Agent.
Based on readings from some blogs, i even tried adding a custom string under following Registry, but again this was a failure:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform
Solution Required:
How can i add a custom string, permanently in the User-Agent for all requests from IE10?
Can you please help me out in fixing this issue? Is there any workaround for this? or whether this has been completely blocked with IE-10 release?
