Are My Sites Up User Agent
Posted on June 21st, 2010 by Chris Coyier
Are My Sites Up site checkers send along a User Agent when making their requests to your servers. The User Agent is this:
AMSU 1.21
This may be good for you to know, as applications and servers can be configured to respond differently to different User Agents. As long as your server and application are OK with our User Agent (doesn’t serve up an error, or anything different than a browser request), site checks will work great. It may also be good for looking through your server logs to see our site checker hits.
If you think your site checks are being affected by this and don’t have the ability to change anything to fix it, static file checking is usually the best bet.
