Hi -

commit 53aac40e9577168b886dfeecb77e5a72d2666fc9 (HEAD -> fche/debuginfod-useragent, origin/fche/debuginfod-useragent)
Author: Frank Ch. Eigler <fche@redhat.com>

    debuginfod: pass a distro-summary User-Agent request header
    
    It may be useful for a debuginfod server operator to know what kinds
    of clients make webapi requests.  This is mainly as a
    telemetry/diagnostic (though the data cannot be really trusted).  It
    may also be useful to automate downloading of distro packages to a
    debuginfod server in the case of an unknown hex buildid.  doc/testing
    not affected as these are diagnostics.
