Bug #18183 Updated: [RFE] Configurable "User-Agent" in php_fopen_url_wrap_http()

ID: 18183 Updated by: mfischer@php.net Reported By: jos_php.net@interexa.de Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: all PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: Why not an ini setting like fopen.user_agent ? I think we should use the INI infrastructure if we want to make thsi customizeable at all. There's no need to add a new function when we simply can do ini_set("fopen.user_agent", "foobar"); We can even query it with ini_get(), means we don't need a get_user_agent() and we can give it a default value like "PHP <version numer>" if it's not set at all. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-05 16:10:06] tal@php.net Maybe a set_user_agent() function? -Tal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-05 09:19:38] derick@php.net Recategorize ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-05 08:59:54] jos_php.net@interexa.de It would be helpful if the "User-Agent"-String in fopen('http://...') calls would be configurable. The file affected is ext/standard/http_fopen_wrapper.c, line 180. Maybe we could define a global variable which is set to "PHP/PHP_VERSION" by default, but can be overwritten. Or an optional parameter to the fopen() function. But would be also useful in include() calls... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18183&edit=1
