As it is today Qt's default user agent (in qwebpage.cpp) is hard coded to:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/523.15 (KHTML,
like Gecko) Safari/419.3 Qt"
Seeing as this library will be used inside of many other applications it makes
sense to include by default at least the application name/version when they
are set. QCoreApplication gives us several strings which can be used.
applicationName, applicationVersion, organizationDomain, organizationName
But at a bigger question, what should be included (or not included) with the
default user agent? Is there docs anywhere that suggest what webkit library
users should use as their user agent string?
We did some research for the GTK+ port and tried to integrate the most
important UA string compatibility hacks without making the string too
ugly. The code in WebKit/gtk/WebCoreSupport/FrameLoaderClientGtk.cpp
documents each UA string element with comments. It's fairly general and
is intended to be moved down into WebCore.
If you decide to use this code, please submit any fixes through the bug
tracker. Hope it helps.
(It's disappointing to see the growing number of WebCore changes in Qt's
git tree that could benefit the whole project. Are you planning to
submit these changes for review?)
