I agree, let's reuse this syntax. It could also be "Program/version library/version", could also have comments between parentheses, etc. It's important to note that a product name *cannot have spaces in it*, or it would be interpreted as multiple products! "Mirror Brain/2.8.1" is the "Mirror" product of unspecified version, and the "Brain" product version 2.8.1. I have seen lots of software not following this. For example, Google Code SVN web hooks use "Google Code Project Hosting" as User-Agent, which is four product names... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Metalink Discussion" group.
