For those of you developing on a Google-run OpenSocial container (orkut, iGoogle, Google Friend Connect, or Gmail), please be aware that Google will be changing their User-Agent string for outgoing OpenSocial requests soon.
Previously, this string was:
Google OpenSocial agent (http://www.google.com/feedfetcher.html)
When the change goes live, the string will be:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible) Feedfetcher-Google; (+http://www.google.com/feedfetcher.html)
This will be the agent used for all outgoing requests, including fetching gadget specs, osapi.http or gadgets.io.makeRequest calls, and proxied content fetches.
We're expecting few developers to be affected by this change, so if you're not checking the User-Agent for requests to your server, you shouldn't have to make any changes.
