Support user agent app tag in IMDS client #2943

@croepha

Description

@croepha

Describe the feature

I would like to be able to add some application specific string to the user agent header sent with http requests to the IMDS service

Use Case

This would be very helpful in debugging which application in an ec2 instance is making a request when viewing multiple requests in a packet capture. This could also be used to enhance auditing of IMDS requests

Proposed Solution

it seems that if you load a config with an option like config.WithAppID("myCoolApp") it does not actually effect the IMDS client. I think that you should make that config also apply to the IMDS client which would make the behavior the same as the majority of other clients in this package

Other Information

No response

Acknowledgements

  • I may be able to implement this feature request
