User Agent Used for Federation?
-
Looking through my logs it seems that NodeBB doesn't have any defined User Agent for it's ActivityPub requests.
Mastodon has
Mastodon/<version> (athing; +https://<websitehere>)
Friendica hasFriendica/<version> +https://<website>
And many more other federated software have similar things. But when looking through my web request logs I'm not seeing any specific User Agent for NodeBB forums. The only one in fact that I've found which might be NodeBB is
node-fetch
.I'm asking simply because I have a tool that monitors specifically for ActivityPub requests from various clients. And I'd like to be able to track NodeBB ActivityPub requests as well, but I'm not seeing how at the moment.

I can see 'NodeBB/4.x' in my NGINX log, when this forum Announced this post, and when it's retrieved my user details.
It's just that though, not the +website that everything else seems to have.

@andrew@pythag.net thanks for pointing this out, let me get the user agent updated to report the hostname.
NodeBB right now only reports
4.x
though. Exposing the full version could aid targeting for malicious users in the event of a security vulnerability.cc @tankerkiller125
