I want to know what is the 'User-Agent' passed in get/post calls using adf webactivity. I do not want to pass exclusively in headers.

I just want to know , what is the default 'User-Agent' that get passed if we do not specify anything in headers.

If there is no direct answer, then please let me know from where I can check the same?

    Hi @Prayag Parashar ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum and thanks for reaching out here.

    I just did a quick test and used Developer tools (F12) and searched with key word agent to see what the default User agent being sent during web activity get call and noticed that ADF is sending the default web browser user agent from which your web call is sent.

    Please see below for reference.
