Re: Setting the NSURLDownload user agent

Submitted radar://20619548 asking for a method to get the default user-agent string from NSURLRequest.

As for why I am using NSURLDownload rather than NSURLSession, it is quite simple I have to support OS X 10.8 and NSURLSession didn't appear until 10.9.

Does any one have any idea how I would write code to get the CFNetwork and Darwin versions? The only CF version number I have found is kCFCoreFoundationVersionNumber which isn't what I am looking for.

Thanks,

Nick

There's no easy way to do that: setting the user agent string is an all or nothing thing. You could write code to get the CFNetwork and Darwin versions and mimic what CFNetwork is doing, but that's not very sustainable.

Feel free to file a bug requesting a better option for this.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.

Also, why are you using NSURLDownload and not NSURLSession download tasks? The latter is strongly recommended these days.

And if you do file a bug, make sure to file it against NSURLSession, not NSURLDownload, but NSURLSession is The Future™.
