Override default Python requests user agent to something specific to awscurl

[noah-guillory]

Hi! What do you think about setting the user agent that's sent along with requests to something that indicates that requests are coming from awscurl? I ask because I've had it come up where it would have been useful during debugging something on my end that someone used your tool to call our API.

This is something that seems like a straightforward change since requests has an option that lets you set the user agent. I'm thinking something similar to the user agent of Curl where it's just awscurl/${version_number}.

Your thoughts? I'm happy to contribute a PR for this as well.

Hey Noah,Thanks for the idea!Could you do that now by passing user agent header[1] in the command line?[1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/User-AgentOn Oct 18, 2024, at 8:38 AM, Noah Guillory ***@***.***> wrote: Hi!

That is fair, could get around this by passing through the header with the -H flag. I guess it's more of a question to you if a default user agent header that contains awscurl is desirable or not?

Right, I guess I am not sure of the use case, but happy to be convinced!On Oct 18, 2024, at 8:47 AM, Igor Okulist ***@***.***> wrote:Hey Noah,Thanks for the idea!Could you do that now by passing user agent header[1] in the command line?[1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/User-AgentOn Oct 18, 2024, at 8:38 AM, Noah Guillory ***@***.***> wrote: Hi!
