HTTP Headers sent from IMified
Mark Headd
via web
I have a bot that is running on a hosted server that is accessed from the IMified platform. I'd like to use the same code base running this bot to generate output for other platforms and user agents.
Is there any way to differentiate the HTTP request received from the IMified platform (so that I can format responses for my bot) vs. other platforms?
Does the HTTP request from IMified:
- Have any information as to user agent type (allowing me to check the HTTP User_agent header); or,
- Does the request come from a predefined IP (or range of IPs) that I could check?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Mark,
Yes, we send along a user-agent header with a value of Imified/1.0

Doing a simple:
in PHP, yields:
I've tried this in the debugger and via a Jabber client, and saw the same results.
I'm cool if this value is what is intended, just want to know if it will consistently be this value before building out methods in my code to check for this.
Thanks!

That would be a bug. We'll get that fixed.

Hey Mark, the user agent should now return Imified/1.0.

I checked my logs and my bot is still returning Railo (CFML Engine) as the HTTP_USER_AGENT so it does not look fixed to me.

I have also noticed that your debugger agent does not return a way to detect it came from imified in the user-agent. Would it be possible to add?
