Description

Using the BotsFilterPlugin, I noticed exceptions when there was no useragent in a request. I applied the following patch to fix this. Note that this patch blocks requests with missing useragents as if they were bots.

I confirm that bug,
which BTW breaks rake tests.

Assigning to JP Lang since he's the one releasing botsfilter plugin.

it's best to not filter requests if user_agent is blank.
See attached patch.

Closing this issue: very old + it is about a specific plugin, the current policy is to report issues in the dedicated bug tracker of each plugin.
