What does this PR change? What problem does it solve?
Allow custom User-Agent to be specified for outgoing requests. ~~Restic currently uses the default
User-Agent
of thenet/http
package for all outgoing HTTP requests. ~~The customisable User-Agent can be used to differentiate between Restic HTTP client and other golang http clients at a Frontend Gateway or Load Balancer.
Added a global option flag
--http-user-agent
.This will wrap the defaulthttp.RoundTripper
to set the customUser-Agent
header. If the flag is not specified, the defaultUser-Agent
from thenet/http
package is used for outgoing requests.Was the change previously discussed in an issue or on the forum?
