Add "Apache-HttpClient (Java)" as a bot

Open bart-v opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

This user agent (example) is not recognized as a bot Apache-HttpClient/4.4 (Java 1.5 minimum; Java/10.0.2)

See here for more info: https://developers.whatismybrowser.com/useragents/explore/software_name/java-runtime-environment/2 https://udger.com/resources/ua-list/browser-detail?browser=Apache-HttpClient

So, it's clearly a bot

Can it be added?

Actually that might not necessarily be a bot. It's a Java library providing the possibility to make HTTP requests and stuff like that. So basically it could be used by any software. There even is a port for Android.

Well, it makes Matomo stats skewed a lot if it's actually a bot (probably 90% of the cases?) AWStats did a better job... https://fossies.org/linux/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/lib/robots.pm
