Snippet List
Firebug Lite Middleware
This middleware allows you to easily include the excellent debugging tool Firebug Lite in your projects. To install it, just add the middleware class to your list of installed middleware, pretty much anywhere in the list. If DEBUG is True, and your IP address is in the list of INTERNAL_IPS, Firebug Lite will load. It will, however, only load in browsers that are **not** Firefox, as I'm assuming that you have the **real** Firebug installed in Firefox. If you don't, go install it--what's wrong with you? Check out http://getfirebug.com/lite.html for more information.

Compact P3P policy header injection middleware
This is like snippet 786, except it does it at the middleware layer, so you don't have to reference it in every view. Super simple. refer to: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/786/

browscap.ini-parser
Sometimes you need to know if a visitor is a bot or if the browser supports certain features or if it is a mobile device. The easiest way to do so would be to lookup the user agent in a capabilities database. Fortunately there is already such a database called browscap.ini which is widely known among PHP users. I found the file accidently on my harddrive because it is also used by Mono: /etc/mono/browscap.ini Read http://browsers.garykeith.com/index.asp for more information. Before importing the module you need to call the script from commandline to retrieve the browscap.ini file. Look at the test function to see how to use it. You can also create a file called "bupdate.ini" which can contain fixes for wrong or incomplete entries, e.g: [Konqueror] javaapplets=True

Avoid IE Brokenness When using Vary and Attachments
Apparently Internet Explorer (6 and 7) have a bug whereby if you blindly attach a PDF or some other file, it will choke. The problem lies in the Vary header (bug described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824847/en-us?spid=8722&sid=global). To use, just add to the beginning of your middleware classes.
