Package Exports

browser_fingerprint

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (browser_fingerprint) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

browser_fingerprint

This module attempts to uniquely identify browsers by examining their header and connection information. This information can be used as a "poor-man's" session identifier in your node projects. This module can optionally set a cookie to 'lock' in a consistent fingerprint.

    var http = require('http');
    var bf = require('browser_fingerprint');

    // these are the default options
    var options = {
        cookieKey: "__browserFingerprint",
        toSetCookie: true,
        onlyStaticElements: false,
    };

    http.createServer(function (req, res) {
        bf.fingerprint(req, options, function(fingerprint, elementHash, cookieHash){
            
            cookieHash['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain' // append any other headers you want
            res.writeHead(200, cookieHash);
            
            var resp = "";
            resp += 'Your Browser Fingerprint: ' + fingerprint + "\r\n\r\n";
            for(var i in elementHash){
                resp += "Element " + i + ": " + elementHash[i] + "\r\n";
            }
            
            res.end(resp);
            
            console.log('requset from ' + req.connection.remoteAddress + ', fingerprint -> ' + fingerprint);
        });
    }).listen(8080, '127.0.0.1');

    console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8080/' + '\r\n');
