What is the User Agent string for Twitterfeed?
If we do not have a User Agent string, we serve our RSS feeds with yummy advertising. If we have a User Agent string, we serve an ad-free feed. To see what I mean, look here:

However if you look at a site like Alltop, we have added their User Agent string, and thus, no "Presented By" every x number of headlines:

Thanks!

Inappropriate?Due to some problems with certain sites blocking unknown user agents when twitterfeed was trying to get the feed, I've changed it quite a while ago to pretend to be a web browser ("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3")
I could perhaps add some additional string to this to identify twitterfeed, hopefully without stopping access to any feeds... thinking of something like "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3 twitterfeed". Would that work? -
Inappropriate?Yes as long as there is some kind of identifying UA string in there. We won't open it up to Firefox ;) But we do want to open it up for specific service such as Twitterfeed. Thanks!
