customizable user agent header for the client
---------------------------------------------
Key: XMLRPC-149
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-149
Project: XML-RPC
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 3.1
Environment: Gentoo / jdk 1.6
Reporter: Andreas Sahlbach
Our client sets the user agent to an application string + version information.
The user agent field can be easily read out at the web server and is an
important information for the support and for statistics (how many old clients
are still out there? how many customer have upgraded? is it true that the
customer is using the new client or is he really using an old client, lying
somewhere hidden in the classpath? etc.)
Now we want to upgrade the xmlrpc lib to 3.1 and noticed that the user agent
field is set by the library. Unfortunately it's not possible to customize this
setting to our needs. I've added a patch that is allowing us to set the user
agent to a string we are choosing. The code should be 100% compatible and there
should be no negative side effects. Please consider to put this into the
upstream as soon as possible. Thanks a lot!
