Add custom user-agent for Refresher client #64

Closed crystall1nedev closed 6 months ago

crystall1nedev commented 6 months ago

This PR adds a custom user-agent for the Refresher app, closing #60.

The user-agent is built with Refresher/<autodiscover-version>. This was chosen over other options for a few reasons:

This UA will be unique to Refresher, and servers can whitelist Refresher clients
- Useful against repeated spam from bots and such
Matching the autodiscover version can be useful server-side
- Requests can be denied, for example, if something that is required is not available in an older version
  - v1 vs v2 is a great example of this!
The user-agent only needs to be updated when the AutoDiscover version changes
