# HG changeset patch # User Matt Harbison # Date 1513274648 18000 # Node ID e7bb5fc4570cace261a2b00fdb2816bd100e59e8 # Parent 0ebd94ac56d13862df511c8e56c76238c5d282d4 lfs: add git to the User-Agent header for blob transfers As we were trying to transition off of the non production lfs-test-server for further experimenting, one of the problems we ran into was interoperability. A coworker setup gitbucket[1] to act as the blob server, tested with git, and passed it off to me. But push failed with a message saying "abort: LFS server returns invalid JSON:", and then proceeded to dump a huge HTML page to the screen. It turns out that it is assuming that git is the only thing that wants to do a blob transfer, and everything else is a web browser wanting HTML. It's only a single data point, but I suspect other things may be doing this too. RFC7231 gives an example [2] of listing multiple products in decreasing order of significance. Since the standard provides for this, and since it works with the one problematic server I found, I'm just enabling this by default for a better UX. There's nothing significant about the version of git chosen, other than it is the current version.
