Issue #6954
Updated by dalley almost 4 years ago
Many upstream repositories such as PyPI [0] request that all mirroring tools provide a User Agent to identify themselves. Pulp does not currently do this.
Here is an example of the User Agent that Bandersnatch provides:
~~~
'bandersnatch/4.1.0.dev0 (cpython 3.8.3-final0, Linux x86_64) (aiohttp 3.6.2)'
~~~
And the code that produces it:
