> 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!
