The server just sends files as responses to http requests. If the server is playing nice and just checks the user agent reported by the client, then that's what you would expect.

And, it might make sense to do so in order to provide a product that meets certain requirements. It is certainly worrying that they need to do that, and not a good thing to make products exclusive to proprietary clients.
