Document custom user-agent header #1742

Closed emmambd closed 6 months ago

emmambd commented 7 months ago

Describe the problem

Some users have had errors with the validator processing their GTFS feeds because their websites are not set up to either 1) process requests with custom user agents or 2) process any requests from non-browser sources.

We want to be explicit about what our user agent header contains for debugging and logging purposes.

Suggest a fix or an alternative
