Bug ID: 61372
Summary: error 500 NullPointerException when no user agent is
specified
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: 7.0.75
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Integration
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: j2017...@mvrht.net
Target Milestone: ---
An apache tomcat 7.0.75 server is failing to respond to a GET request, I found
out that the root cause is that the client I am using (node.js request module)
does not set a 'User-agent' header by default.

## Workaround
This can be easily worked around - when you found out the cause of the problem
by specifying a user agent header (even with an empty value)
## Steps to reproduce
send a curl request to an Apache Tomcat server, including the following option
to remove the User-Agent header:
-H "User-Agent:"
