Still no User-Agent in trackbacks [fixed]

1 Dec 03, 2005 13:40    

Since more and more servers are blocking requests without a User-Agent, trackbacks from B2Evolution won't get through. Bad Behavior is one plugin that blocks these requests.

From what I gather, it can't be too difficult to just add a line in the function trackback() inside _trackback.funcs.php or am I way off?

This problem is also present in the 0.9.x releases.

yes, in fact this is what would be needed:

$http_request .= "User-Agent: b2evolution/" . $b2_version;

Put it before :

$http_request .= "\r\n";

and I agree, it is needed. Not providing it is ... just wierd.

Seems reasonable!

I'll add it to CVS.

btw: $b2_version does not exist in Phoenix anymore. It's $app_version now.
