javax.sip.header
Interface UserAgentHeader

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, Header, java.io.Serializable

public interface UserAgentHeader
extends Header

The User-Agent header field contains information about the UAC originating the request. This is for statistical purposes, the tracing of protocol violations, and automated recognition of user agents for the sake of tailoring Responses to avoid particular user agent limitations. However revealing the specific software version of the user agent might allow the user agent to become more vulnerable to attacks against software that is known to contain security holes. Implementers SHOULD make the User-Agent header field a configurable option.

For Example:
User-Agent: Softphone Beta1.5
