Many browsers including the OS name and platform architecture in their
user agent strings. Mozilla includes "PPC Mac OS X" or "Linux i686",
for example. I was hoping you might consider adding the name of the OS
and the platform architecture to the default urlgrabber user_agent
defined in grabber.py.
Currently, the user_agent is "urlgrabber/2.9.9" or "urlgrabber/3.0.0".
I was wondering if you would consider changing the default to be as
follows:
"urlgrabber/3.0.0 (Linux)" or "urlgrabber/3.0.0 (Linux i686)"
"urlgrabber/3.0.0 (Mac OS X)" or "urlgrabber/3.0.0 (Mac OS X PPC)"
"urlgrabber/3.0.0 (SunOS) or "urlgrabber/3.0.0 (SunOS sparc)".
One reason to do this would allow for OS and architecture tracking in
Apache access_log. I can currently track OS and architecture when
people are using Mozilla or IE, but not when they're using yum /
urlgrabber.
Thanks for your consideration.
