Citrix IE detection

Question

We have a website, which many users are accessing through Citrix. Certain things (namely video) drag down the Citrix server so much that I don't even want to try launching a video if the user is connecting from that.

Is there some way (on the web server end) of detecting if the browser that's connecting is being hosted by citrix? Everyone will be using IE 7 or 8 if that is relevant. I did a dump of all the request parameters and scanned through window.* and window.navigator.* but didn't seem to find anything.

Answer 1

Just saw a potentially relevant answer here which led to more info here.

It is possible to configure Citrix in a way to launch specific content (such as video) on the local client instead of Citrix, if certain conditions are met.

This may or may not be useful in your specific situation, but it might be worth a look.
