Issue Type: Bug Bug
Affects Versions: current
Assignee: Unassigned
Components: additional-identities, cloudtest, core, plugin
Created: 17/Dec/13 8:23 AM
Description:

Currently when trying to get files from a URL elsewhere, Jenkins HTTP GETs use the User-Agent "Java/<java version #>". Example:
User-Agent: Java/1.6.0_65

Saw these requests going through from Wireshark.

However, I've used CloudFlare and I have also seen sites that specifically reject requests with user-agent having Java/<java version #> in it.

I propose that Jenkins change the core to identify itself in the user-agent as "Jenkins/<Jenkins' version #>". Example:
User-Agent: Jenkins/1.541

This is really one line of code in Jenkins:
System.setProperty("http.agent", "Jenkins/" + Jenkins.getVersion().toString());

It would be highly inappropriate for my plugin to make this change and hence currently I have to work around it by resetting the user-agent of every connection call I make. Please make this change possible!

Thanks!
