What is "useragent" in codeigniter email library's configuration? - email

I can see that the codeigniter's email library's useragent is changeable as the document says.
But what is really the useragent and what does it do for us?


I'm not sure about the email library's case, but in most cases the useragent is the identifier of what the user "used" to make a request in the way of the browser type/version, OS type/version, etc.
This information is commonly used or contained cookies.
Here are examples of useragents:

Is it possible that this visits are causing the problem with slow page load ?
For 31st December i have 1342 requests, 1st Jan. 1222, 2nd Jan - 2374 requests, 4th Jan - 2391... This goes on every day.
Webshop is run by Prestashop, and as far as I've been inspecting the platform is not causing any problems which would result in slow page load. Most of modules are disabled, removed, only needed (enabled) ones are on server, cashing is on, recompile when something changes..
Any tips, links to read, possible solutions...would be very useful because currently I'm living in nightmare..

You can find the IP patterns of the robots hitting your store and then block those IPs using the .htaccess file.
Visit following URL for more details on this:
How to Block an IP address range using the .htaccess file

I have the same problem and currently trying a solution to block that bot via robots.txt like this:

Sending form via POST results in broken GET request on webserver (405)

Situation:
Sending a HTML form (method POST) results sporadically in broken GET request on webserver (405). In the browser is displayed "Method now allowed" (405).
The incorrect string in front of the wrong GET method looks like some form variables . For example checkout=Weiter+%3E%3E, which is the value-attribute of the submit button (Weiter >>).

GWTTestCase timeout in Jenkins

When I kick off a Jenkins job that runs a GWTTestCase through Maven, the job fails randomly with the same exception. I can't reproduce this behavior in Eclipse. Below is the exception.
<testcase time="300.144" classname="client.gdo.model.impl.GwtTestLevelOfDetailDefinition" name="testGetAttributesAfterJsonParse">

I believe this is because depending of your architecture, GWTTestCase can be very long to execute.
Try augmenting the timeout as indicated in the error log.

tasklist output used in pipe is broken

OS: windows XP
In a cmd shell, piping the output from tasklist /v does some weird things. I am trying to pipe to grep so I can filter the output, and the results are intermittent and inconsistent. A simpler way to see that the problem resides with tasklist /v is to simply execute the command tasklist /v | more - there must be a bunch of weird (cursor-up??) characters that tasklist /v is spewing out. Anyone have any insight?
Here is the straight output from tasklist /v:

Notice half the output is missing, and the command prompt winds up in the middle of the list. Invoking tasklist /v | more results in different, bizzare behaviour each time.
Here's a screenshot from the first pause by more:
Note how much data is missing and the odd position of the cursor. Here is a sreeenshot after hitting space in the above cmd shell window:
You can't see the cursor this time (I didn't hit the prtsc at the right time), but its on the line immediately above the --- more -- line.

Uh it turns out that tasklist spits garbage to stderr, which in turns causes issues in (display of) later pipe stages.
To see that, change console font to Lucida (in properties), codepage to 437 (chcp 437) and re-run tasklist
To get rid of use tasklist 2>nul | more (or grep, obviously)
(As far as I'm able to tell if affects only display, so tasklist |grep whatever >result.txt should also give consistent/proper results.
Tested under same version as yours (5.1.2600 SP3).
Annoying... looks like a bug to me.

Piping through more give me no less lines, more actually
