morgamic.com stuff and things, according to Mike Morgan

25Apr/08Off

One of these things is not like the others…

In a recent bug fligtar was nice enough to run some stats for me on platform strings passed in extensions.update.url via the %APP_OS% client variable in Firefox. He found some interesting results:

WINNT
Darwin
Linux
linux-gnu
SunOS
FreeBSD
linux
winnt
darwin
OS2
OpenBSD
NetBSD
BeOS
DragonFly
IRIX64
AIX
HP-UX
NTO
solaris2.10
OSF1
penis

Fixing bug 407211 will be a long and hard process, but I think I'll be able to handle it.

    Aside from the lack of a “vagina” operating system, the obvious burning question that remains is why does it not act in a case-insensitive manner? (e.g. merging WINNT and winnt, or Linux and linux).

    @Ian – fligtar just parsed the logs real quick — extension updates are case-insensitive though.
