      Description

      To track usage, we configured bioviz.org to log requests for updates.xml - see: IGBF-3568.

      After implementing and deploying the new logging mechanism, AL checked the log.

      The log revealed that when IGB starts, it sends two requests for updates.xml, with two different user-agent strings.

      For this task, find out where in the IGB code these two requests are being made, and why MacOS and Windows user-agents are reported.

      Here are the relevant lines in the log:

      16.98.114.149 - - [04/Aug/2024:23:38:48 +0000] "GET /igb/releases/current/updates.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 7410 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64)"
      16.98.114.149 - - [04/Aug/2024:23:38:51 +0000] "GET /igb/releases/current/updates.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 1692 "-" "IGB/10.1.0; Mac OS X/14.3 (aarch64); en_US; Java/21.0.2"
