Bump.

Has this feature arrived? I can't find it.

If it never arrived, what would a v3.3.14 Request Filter rule look like that, for example, performed the same as the following in an Apache http.conf:
BrowserMatchNoCase ^Jakarta badbot
<Files *>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Deny from env=badbot
</Files> ?

[brrr]

Sorry - should have searched forum: request filter rule answered here:

Example Request Filter rule:
SecFilterSelective HEADER_USER_AGENT ^Jakarta

Checked and working. :)

Another vote for BrowserMatch

IE8 is going to practically require BrowserMatch to not break existing webpages.

Should be simple to impliment no? It's just a matter of testing the requested string against the user-agent?

Since you can implement the same logic with a rewrite rule, we don't see the need for supporting BrowserMatch explicitly.

[aww]

Remember the idea is to be as completely compatible with existing htaccess files as possible.

I want to be able to use something as simple as this:
BrowserMatch MSIE ie8-support
Header set X-UA-Compatible IE=7 env=ie8-support
