Description

Use a application-specific useragent string instead of GuzzleHttp/7.

Include:

  • the application name
  • the application version
  • any user-specific strings passed via the environment variable USER_AGENT_EXTRA (may be empty)

for example if USER_AGENT_EXTRA=prod/docker1rood the user-agent string becomes engineblock/7.0.1/prod/docker1rood.

Research direction

Inspect the outgoing HTTP request configuration and identify where the current GuzzleHttp/7 user-agent is set. Build the application-specific value from the application name, version, and optional USER_AGENT_EXTRA, then verify the result with the variable both set and empty.
