WebDiscoBot

If you are reading this page, it is very probably because you were examining the logs for your web server and noticed that some resources were fetched by user-agent WebDiscoBot or WebDisco.

The purpose is to fetch (typically using conditional get) various resources for web-based discovery. The user-agent string is structured as follows, and not all fields are necessarily present depending on the circumstances, viz. command line application vs web application:

WebDiscoBot purpose(<purpose>) for(<for>) app(<app>)

purpose: the information sought: RSD, syndication feeds, WebFinger, etc.
for: for a web application, the IP address of the downstream client that the request is being made for; any nefarious activity will be due to this address and not that of the web application per se.
app: the name of the command line or web application issuing the request
