[Linphone-users] linphone-1.7.1 produces incorrect User-Agent header |

The linphone/linphonec application sends out a User-Agent: header that
does not conform to common internet practices.
Example:
CSeq: 1 REGISTER
Contact: <sip:address@hidden:5060>
Max-Forwards: 70
User-Agent: Linphone-1.7.1/eXosip
Problems:
- the version number should be separated by the program name with a slash ('/')
- the agent and any subproducts which form a significant part of the
agent should be listed in order of their significance for
identifying the application
- the user-agent string should be user configurable
A more correct form of the header could be:
User-Agent: Linphone/1.7.1 eXosip/0.1

Thanks to all the developers for making such a great free communication tool.
