    Description

      http.agent.version defaults in nutch-default.xml to Nutch-1.14-SNAPSHOT (depending on the version of course).
      If I want to override it to not send a version as part of the user-agent, there is nothing I can do in nutch-site.xml, since putting an empty string there causes the default to be taken, and putting any value there causes a slash to be appended to the http.agent.name.
      As far as I can see, the only way to override it is to remove the value in nutch-default.xml, which is probably not the “correct” way, considering it contains a comment saying “Do not modify this file directly”.
      The suggested solution is to treat a white-space-only value as empty.
