How can I change the User Agent String presented by Talend as it visits a website?

Is there a way that I can set the User Agent String that is presented when I use Talend to visit a website, to a User Agent that better describes my activity?

Hello,

Could you please give us more information about it? What's kind of API you are trying to interact?Is it set as a User-Agent HTTP Header? Do you want to track the call that comes from Talend?

Best regards

Sabrina

We want to set the user agent http header that Talend presents when it makes a http request to the web server that we are visiting. The current default user agent string is Java/1... And we want to send a different ua string.

Hi Sabrina,

 

I am using a tSOAP component to call an ASP.NET (.asmx) web service that we generated on our servers. However, we do not allow access to this web service when the User Agent sent begins with "Java/1.8.0..." or "Java/(version)...". Talend, in the tSOAP component, is auto generating this user agent when tSOAP sends the request listed in the SOAP Message box. I need to send a different user agent through the tSOAP component, or change the user agent using a different component, like java code inside a tJava or tSystem component. Is this possible?

 

Thanks for your time,

Matt
