Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.13 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/uscan
Hello, I just found that uscan by default does not provide an User-Agent HTTP header. Additionaly, I've found that webserver hosting upstream sources does not like requests without U-A header and answers: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2008 12:56:00 GMT Server: Apache Content-Length: 226 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>400 Bad Request</title> </head><body> <h1>Bad Request</h1> <p>Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<br /> </p> </body></html> I do not know about reasons for it and I will investiage it. But regardless of the problem it would be nice, if any HTTP/HTTPS request sent by uscan provided a default U-A header like 'uscan ver. X.Y.Z http://what.is.uscan/' and on http://what.is.uscan/ there could be an explanation what is uscan, what it's used for and why webadministrators should not block it.
