I would really like to understand (i.e. get an explanation) from the OSM admins as to why a user agent that explicitly identifies itself as QGIS like we have now is not enough for them before moving forward.
Being a web admin/developer myself, I can hardly find a reason why that's not enough. I'm more curious than anything else, lots of love to the great OSM guys :) Math On Thu, Feb 21, 2019 at 2:51 PM Richard Duivenvoorde <[email protected]> wrote: > On 21/02/2019 00.20, Nyall Dawson wrote: > > On Thu, 21 Feb 2019 at 02:30, Richard Duivenvoorde <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> > >> Hi Devs, PSC, > >> > >> I had a short talk on IRC to 'Firefishy' the person who runs > >> tile.openstreetmap.org CDN > >> (in bcc, and see: http://irclogs.geoapt.com/qgis/%23qgis.2019-02-20.log > ) > >> > >> In short: he/osm has an issue with QGIS using 'Mozilla/5.0 ....' as > >> User-Agent header, but QGIS NOT behaving as a true browser. > > > > Don't we already append "QGIS" to the end of the Mozilla/5.0 string? > > (Firefishy/Grant in bcc) > > Yes we have, but it is for OSM admins still to difficult to distinguish > apparently, AND it makes it more difficult that we say we are a browser > but do not act as one. > > Maybe Jorge's proposal is best: for Nominatim and OSM servers we do > another UserAgent? > > Regards, > > Richard Duivenvoorde > _______________________________________________ > Qgis-psc mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-psc
