* Remove SynapseRequest.get_user_agent (#9069)Richard van der Hoff2021-01-121-0/+1
SynapseRequest is in danger of becoming a bit of a dumping-ground for "useful stuff relating to Requests", which isn't really its intention (its purpose is to override render, finished and connectionLost to set up the LoggingContext and write the right entries to the request log). Putting utility functions inside SynapseRequest means that lots of our code ends up requiring a SynapseRequest when there is nothing synapse-specific about the Request at all, and any old twisted.web.iweb.IRequest will do. This increases code coupling and makes testing more difficult. In short: move get_user_agent out to a utility function.
