#40319 closed defect (fixed)

Fix MacPorts user-agent to conform to RFC 2616

Reported by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt) Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone: MacPorts 2.3.0
Component: base Version: 2.2.0

Description

The MacPorts user-agent is e.g.: 

MacPorts 2.2.0 libcurl/7.24.0

​RFC 2616 section 14.43 defines the user agent as: 

User-Agent     = "User-Agent" ":" 1*( product | comment )

​RFC 2616 section 3.8 defines product as: 

product         = token ["/" product-version]
product-version = token

It gives the following examples: 

User-Agent: CERN-LineMode/2.15 libwww/2.17b3
Server: Apache/0.8.4

So the MacPorts user-agent should be changed to e.g.: 

MacPorts/2.2.0 libcurl/7.24.0
