[3.00, Solved] Empty user agent is send when announcing

[erion]

Hello,

I am running Transmission-daemon via the Transmission-cli package under Arch Linux ARM on a Raspberry Pi 3.

I am informed by one specific tracker that my client does not send a user agent, which is a tracker requirement to identify clients, when announcing.

I am not sure whether this is Arch-specific, so I am wondering if anyone could confirm whether non-Arch Transmission-daemons send an empty user agent for v3.0.

According to https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/armv7 ... ission-cli, I am not seeing anything specific that would change the default user agent when building.

I've also tried to add a:

"user-agent": "Transmission/3.00 (bb6b5a062e)"

line to my *settings.json*, unfortunately, I am still getting the issue.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

To add to this, it seems that Curl 7.71 and above does not send the user agent reliably, at least on Arch Linux. I am not sure whether this is a packaging issue.

Building v2.94 of Transmission-cli resulted in the same issue, but the moment I built and downgraded Curl, the issue was gone.

This is hopefully helpful information for anyone having the same issue.
