Zend_Service_Akismet hardcoded user agent

[Ralf Eggert]

Hi,

I just want to mention that there is a hardcoded user agent string in
the class Zend_Service_Akismet. It says 'Zend Framework/0.7.0 |
Akismet/1.11' at the moment. I know it this no big deal or a bug or
something like that. But maybe this could be updated some time.

Best Regards,

Ralf

There is also a (public) setUserAgent() to almost allow you to do
whatever you want. ;-) And speaking of which - just curious, but is
the format "APP/Ver Akismet/Ver" something Akismet requires you to do?

Also, noticed that the API version is hardcoded in all "calls" -
couldn't that be phased out into a private/protected variable and
set-er etc.?

I guess this depends on a) how frequently Akismet releases an update
to their API and b) how much of those updates break BC, etc.. Speaking
about an API-version, another "nice to have" would be a method
returning the currently support API.

If it is at all possible, please modify the user agent string you request with to be of the following format:

Application Name/Version | Plugin Name/Version
