286057 - Add name and version of community build to user agent string

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Steve Chapel]

See
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/netscape.public.mozilla.seamonkey/msg/dc84db19dbc2a32f?dmode=source
for a description of what the user agent string for the Mozilla Suite community
build should look like. We need to add the name & version of the browser to the
end like so:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20050605 Seamonkey/1.0

Simply use the existing string prefs general.useragent.vendor and
general.useragent.vendorSub for that like Netscape 7.x does.

general.useragent.vendor = Seamonkey
general.useragent.vendorSub = 1.0

Taking, as I consider that part of the rebranding effort and I volunteered to do
the rebranding stuff. Thanks for the pointer what to do :)

I saw this "[e-mail]  	2005-03-25 16:18 PST  	Flag  	    
blocking-aviary1.1+" in comments, but since that field was removed, I am adding
to current one in its stead.

blocking-seamonkey1.0a is what you want :)
...and granted - though I'll fix this with rebranding stuff anyways...

Attachment: patch: will be part of rebranding

Here's the patch I'll use.
Note that this doesn't make sense without the rebranding patch, as it would
append another "Mozilla/1.8b2" at the moment, which is not what we want.
Because of that, I'll do this along with the real rebranding stage of bug
285696

Attachment: patch v2: use new pref stuff (still part of rebranding)

Just to tell you hwere we're going, after the latest round of checkins, we'll
go with this approach.
