Better to have it in the configuration file as default for those who need it than hardcoded in the code. Signed-off-by: Chris Sdogkos <work@chris-sdogkos.com>

This is breaking ToS. Sorry, we cannot use this feed if they do not allow it to be called by bot (without pretending to not be a bot). |

Have we tested to see if it works with this user agent and the bot can successfully get a response without a 403? |

Yeah, this one works (and is conform with RFC on how a User-Agent for bots has to look like) |

For some reason oracle decides to block "bots" from automatically reading RSS feeds unless certain headers and user agents are provided. 🙄
We are now sending
TJ-Bot/1.0 (+https://github.com/Together-Java/TJ-Bot)as user-agent (conform with RFC for bots) and that works. Also checked theirrobots.txtand seems we are good to go.
