commit 78986165ea7ffba61879a8fa6915915ae809f853 Author: David Christensen <[email protected]> Date: Wed Oct 20 21:12:20 2010 -0500 Add MSIE and Gecko UA strings to the default list of NotRobotUA patterns This will correct a string of false positives found when checking the list of RobotUAs against the wide variety of toolbars found in the wild in User-Agent strings. This does open up the possibility of more obscure bots getting assigned sessions from the appserver, but this was deemed to be a reasonable tradeoff given the current bot/toolbar ecosystem.
