Can’t block “Go-http-client” User Agent versions

    Hello.
    I have a question to ask.

    We have been recieving requests using the “Go-http-client” user agent.
    At first I blocked the agent using that specific string (without version number) but it didn’t work, so I added the version to the string (“Go-http-client/1.0”)
    This works, but if the agent changes its version, it doesn’t gets blocked and I have to block the agent each time.

    So far, I added these lines to the User Agents black list:
    Go-http-client
    Go-http-client/1.0
    Go-http-client/1.1
    Go-http-client/2.0

    Curiously, if I block other agents using only their name, like “AwarioBot”, they get correctly blocked and all their versions.

    Is there a way to block all the versions of the “Go-http-client”?

    Thank you.

    Hi @jlmwp

    It seems the issue It is the exact start match, Please use “http-client” to block that user agent and cross check it should work.

    I will create an internal ticket to solve this issue and the upcoming release will have it solved in www.ads-software.com

    Hi @jlmwp

    We have found one issue that User agent blacklist manager to block the user agent matches start of the string do not work
    and we have internally worked on to fix it.

    Can you please upload the zip as Add new plugin and replace it with existing AIOS plugin and confirm the issue is solved.

    Hello
    Thank you very much for the fix.

    These last days we recieved requests with diferents versions of the “Go-http-client” and they all got blocked, so the previous suggestion worked.

    Now I just downloaded and installed the fix you provided, and I also replaced the line “http-client” with “Go-http-client” on the blacklist. I’ll be checking it and get to you if anything happens.

    Have a good day.

    Hello.

    It worked fine. Yesterday we recieved requests using the “Go-http-client/1.1” and they got blocked.

    As described, I used the fix and just one line with the whole agent name (“Go-http-client”) on the blacklist.

    I just left a five star review. Thank you so much.
