Identifying clients - Spomyx - 2023-07-31
Hi everyone,
i am currently looking for a way to identify clients (or more precisely client's app name) at the reverse proxy level in order to route requests to a different backend depending on the client.
i can differenciate android TV clients from chrome users using the user-agent header but it is harder to differenciate the jellyfin-vue client and the jellyfi-web client which share the same user-agent and are detected as symply "chrome"
is there a way to retrieve the "app name" in the HTTP request in order to do that?
any help appreciated
