Blocking Internet Explorer 6 with Squid

No IE 6

Did you know that today, many websites that began eliminating compatibility with Internet Explorer 6 browser. Internet Explorer 6 has 119 bugs. For that of the sysadmin side to minimize grievances or complaints from customers is "Suggest to Upgrade to Internet Explorer Internet Explorer 7 or Internet Explorer 8 or to other browsers like Firefox, Opera, or Google Chrome".

Attempt to suggest this directly to the customer or it could be a way a bit "forced".
Attempt to force a little way this can be done by using a facility that uses Proxy Server Squid on our network. But how?
We can use the config acl in squid, a way to detect the browser used by the user or customer, if using Internet Explorer 6, then we will point to "error page".

 
...
### Block IE6
acl msie6 browser MSIE[[:space:]]6
http_access deny msie6
deny_info ERR_MSIE msie6
...
 


In this way, if there are customers who use Internet Explorer 6 browser will be "forced" to upgrade. :-)
Hopefully useful.
