Item5830: TWiki UserAgent config setting
Priority: Enhancement
Current State: Proposal Required
Released In: n/a
Target Release: n/a
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/UserAgentSpecification
TWiki's
INCLUDE{} can bring in content from other webservers. But, it does not set the
UserAgent? in its requests, therefore many servers reject the request as being too spammy.
A config option to set the UA should be simple to add. Just define it as a $TWiki::cfg{Net}{UserAgent} option, then include it in external requests (TWiki::Net::getExternalResource)
