User agent null not work about wangkanai HOT 7 CLOSED

Solution: Create a Middleware and set string empty for User-Agent.

public class FixDetectionMiddleware
{
    public FixDetectionMiddleware(RequestDelegate next)
    {
        _next = next;
    }

    readonly RequestDelegate _next;

    public async Task Invoke(HttpContext context, IHostingEnvironment hostingEnviroment)
    {
        var userAgent = context.Request.Headers["User-Agent"].FirstOrDefault();

        if (userAgent == null)
        {
            context.Request.Headers["User-Agent"] = string.Empty;
        }

        await _next.Invoke(context);
    }
}

Startup

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
    app.UseMiddleware<FixDetectionMiddleware>();
 }

I think this line may be causing it in InternetExplorer.
_agent = agent.ToLower();

Why would the UserAgent be null? this is the web standard and also it in the test coverage that i wrote. #76

from wangkanai.

UserAgent is null when the request is from another API (not from the browser), for example:

var httpClient = new HttpClient();

httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

var response = await _httpClient.GetAsync("/url/to/my/private/api");

from wangkanai.

Interesting, but REST is strictly HTTP and subject to RFC7231

So should you do add a useragent to the package header?

from wangkanai.

Yes, I could. But I have no control over another APIs (not mine) that consumes my API.
