Description

Currently the InvokeHTTP processor does not send out a User-agent header at all.

It should provide such a header with an honest indication the request was done using Apache Nifi.

I have created an implementation for this (pull request will follow shortly) that creates the following value automatically based on the Nifi version and the current system.

Apache Nifi/1.10.0-SNAPSHOT (git:rel/nifi-1.9.0-347-gec3ea46; Java/1.8.0_222; Linux 4.4.0-159-generic; amd64; https://nifi.apache.org/)
