Download ISO from URL, websites blocks useragent

[FrankB83]

Hi,

I like the feature of directly downloading an ISO from an URL. It seems some IDS systems are triggered by the user-agent having 'libwww-perl' in it and preventing download. It's a small nuisance, but is it possible to have the user-agent used changed to something those IDS's aren't triggered by?

Uff :/ - I would argue that doing security based on the UserAgent header is not really a good approach .. - but given that those IDS rulesets are usually more static than one might wish (and that getting exceptions in can be quite a challenge) - I guess this might make sense.

Could you please open an enhancement request at https://bugzilla.proxmox.com
(No promises when/if this will get implemented though)

Thanks!
