detecting cordova device on express.js server

Question

Hi I'm new to Cordova aka PhoneGap. I already made an express.js website and trying to build ios and android app using Cordova.

thus, there is one website. and there are 3 way(ios app, android app and web browser) to approach that.

I want to figure out what approach is and provide different layout in express routes.

In http header android device sent 'x-requested-with': 'com.example.hello' but iOS does not. In client js can use loacation.href but in express.js cannot read the location.href.

Is there any way to figure out the type of approach in express.js?

app.get('/', function(req, res){
  // console.log(req.headers);
  console.log('User-Agent: ' + req.headers['user-agent']);
});

Thanks, but user-agent information only identifies the device. and I still cannot verify whether the user using cordova or web browser – Eun Bit Hwang Apr 08 '14 at 00:20
Did you inspect the req.headers object? – Gilberto Avalos Apr 08 '14 at 00:31
