| Issue 55: | request_streams needs to send a User-Agent header | |

Any HTTP request sent to LiveJournal without a User-Agent header will fail, so LightOpenID needs to add one for maximum compatibility. As I understand it, LiveJournal added this check to help fend off DDoS attacks they've been getting.

I've only tried "PHP" in my tests; LiveJournal is OK with that.

I wonder if that might be related to issue 46. Sourceforge is known to prevent access to normal webpages if the User-Agent is either blank or in a black list. So if you want to download Sourceforge Webpages, you have to set the user agent header to something (preferable something unique). I don't know if that is related to openid at all. |
