Redirecting to a diferent exe for download based on user agent
- by Ra
I own a Linux-Apache site where I host exe files for download.
Now, when a user clicks this link to my site (published on another site):
http://mysite.com/downloads/file.exe
I need to dynamically check their user agent and redirect them to either
http://mysite.com/downloads/file-1.exe
or
http://mysite.com/downloads/file-2.exe
It seems to me that I have to options:
Put a .htaccess file stating that .exe files should be considered to be scripts. Then write a script that checks the user agent and redirects to a real exe placed in another folder. Call this script file.exe.
Use Apache mod-rewrite to point file.exe to redirect.php.
Which of these is better? Any other considerations? Thanks.
