Thanks Jens and Quinn. I'll think about whether I should be providing my server with either and if so what.

@import Foundation;

static NSString * CFNetworkVersion(void) {
    return [NSBundle bundleWithIdentifier:@"com.apple.CFNetwork"].infoDictionary[@"CFBundleShortVersionString"];
}

#include <sys/utsname.h>

static NSString * DarwinVersion(void) {
    struct utsname u;
    (void) uname(&u);
    return [NSString stringWithUTF8String:u.release];
}

However, I'm with Jens here: if you're going to set a customised user name, just use the OS name and version.  The only reason to be sending this goo is if you're server varies its behaviour base on the user agent string, which is a bad idea in general and pretty rare for a download server (as opposed to a server that's vending web pages, where it happens all the time).

Share and Enjoy
