Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2006-03-02 14:58:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
modsec-equipped httpd installations will reject anaconda's http installation
efforts, because it does not set a User-Agent: header in the http requests. 
This violates the "SHOULD" requirement in RFC2616 (section 14.43).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Whatever's in FC5T3.

How reproducible:
Every time.
Comment 1 Frank Ch. Eigler 2006-03-02 15:00:15 UTC 
Particularly, the blank User-Agent part occurs during the initial
base/stage2.img download.  Later on, "urlgrabber/2.9.6" properly appears in the
requests.
