We are using OSM in our application using ThinkGeo dll. As per OSM policy, we have to use Valid HTTP User-Agent in our application.So I wanted to know how to decide the valid name for the application so that OSM will identify our application is valid and will not block us.

That depends. I guess there are no general rules for how long to block a particular application. In the worst case your application will get blocked forever. There is a Choose a unique name, ideally including the version of your application. This is not necessary. A unique name is enough to identify your application and the corresponding website. |
