Replication HTTP requests lack User-Agent and Accept headers
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-419
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-419
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Database Core
Reporter: Henri Bergius
Currently when making replication HTTP requests to a remote CouchDB instance,
CouchDB makes the HTTP requests "anonymously", without providing any
information that it is a CouchDB instance and that it wants to receive JSON.
Examples of what this could be:
User-Agent: CouchDB/0.9.0
Accept: application/json
See http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html
It would be good to add these headers to HTTP requests made by CouchDB, as it
makes it easier for other systems like Midgard to support the replication
protocol:
