Bug ID: 486726
Summary: discover needs to include the fwupd version in the
user agent
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: fwupd Backend
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: rich...@hughsie.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org, sharma.abhijeet2...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
When downloading files from the LVFS (fwupd.org) the user agent is of the form
`plasma-discover/5.27.8` which doesn't include the fwupd version. Server-side
we're expecting a user agent like `plasma-discover/5.27.8 fwupd/1.9.9` which
allows us to select the best file for the given fwupd version -- for instance
supplying the version with compression turned on if the fwupd version is new
enough, and also checking that the fwupd version isn't too old to understand
the requirement format strings set in the metadata.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch discover
2. Install a firmware update
3. Hope that you got the correct one
OBSERVED RESULT
It works, but only by accident.
EXPECTED RESULT
It works all the time.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: it seems, but unverified, all.
