I'm using Flash very often within websites. Like you know, sometimes the
user doesn't have the Flash-plug-in so I was wandering if I could depend
on this $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'] variable to look for "shockwave-flash".
If found, the visitor has Flash-plugging, if not, he doesn't.
So my question really is, can I base my Flash-detection on this global
variable or is too uncertain? (e.g. when the user is using Netscape,
Opera etc., Linux, Mac etc.)
