user-agent on android app

Postby machine666 » 28 Jan 2018 01:42

hello everybody. i wonder if it's possible to fully customize the user-agent. reading the documentation there's a method called setUserAgent() but it always appends LibVLC/3.0.0-git at the end. which is problematic to me beacuse server side expects an exact user agent.

for example if i do:

Code: Select all

libvlc.setUserAgent("my_custom_user_agent","my_custom_user_agent");
it send to http server:

Code: Select all

User-Agent: my_custom_user_agent LibVLC/3.0.0-git
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

This is as per the syntax definition of the User-Agent line in the HTTP specifications, and many frameworks operate the same way. Fix your server.
