The linphone/linphonec application sends out a User-Agent: header that
does not conform to common internet practices.

Example:
        CSeq: 1 REGISTER
        Contact: <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:5060>
        Max-Forwards: 70
        User-Agent: Linphone-1.7.1/eXosip

Problems:
- the version number should be separated by the program name with a slash ('/')

- the agent and any subproducts which form a significant part of the
  agent should be listed in order of their significance for
  identifying the application

- the user-agent string should be user configurable


A more correct form of the header could be:
        User-Agent: Linphone/1.7.1 eXosip/0.1

You should read RFC 3261.  Especially section 25.1.

The EBNF entries for User-Agent are:

server-val       =  product / comment
product          =  token [SLASH product-version]
product-version  =  token
User-Agent  =  "User-Agent" HCOLON server-val *(LWS server-val)

So at best, the correct version would be

User-Agent: Linphone/1.7.1 (eXosip 0.1)
