Description
|
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)
The User-Agent header received by the server is "Java1.3.0". this string is
not in compliance with RFC 2616 ("HTTP/1.1"), section 3.8 ("Product Tokens"):
product = token ["/" product-version]
product-version = token
according to the spec is should be "Java/1.3.0" or something similar where the
version is separated from the product by a '/'.

======================================================================

|
Work Around
|
via the system property "http.agent" the User-Agent can be specified, though
only once - it can not be altered once it has been read into into a static
final String within HttpURLConnection.
======================================================================
|
|
Evaluation
|
Seems like a reasonable suggestion. It is also arguable
that the http.agent property should not
override the default string, but should instead be placed
before the default string. Setting the property to FooApp/1.0
might result in the following:
User-Agent: FooApp/1.0 Java/1.4.1
Will revisit for 1.4.1
