User-Agent Header, v2024.12.0

[tblnd]

Steps To Reproduce

Using the following:

$ bw --version
2024.12.0

$ python --version
Python 3.12.7

$ pip freeze
click==8.1.7
requests==2.32.3

With the follwoing python code

import requests

headers = {
    "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
}
data = {
    "grant_type": "client_credentials",
    "scope": "api.organization",
    "client_id": client_id,
    "client_secret": client_secret
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=data)
response.raise_for_status()

Results in (using my click script):

$ bwiam list users
{'User-Agent': 'python-requests/2.32.3', 'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate', 'Accept': '*/*', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'Content-Length': '157'}
Error: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://identity.bitwarden.com/connect/token

Expected Result

HTTP 200

Actual Result

HTTP 400

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

It seems the authentication endpoint for the public API is expecting curl as a client (User-Agent HTTP header) for the reuqest to be successful, i.e.

import requests

url = "https://identity.bitwarden.com/connect/token"
headers = {
    "User-Agent": "curl/8.5.0", # <- New line
    "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
}
data = {
    "grant_type": "client_credentials",
    "scope": "api.organization",
    "client_id": client_id,
    "client_secret": client_secret
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=data)
print(response.request.headers)
response.raise_for_status()
print(response.status_code)

Results in (using the same click script)

$ bwiam list users
{'User-Agent': 'curl/8.5.0', 'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate', 'Accept': '*/*', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'Content-Length': '157'}
200

Not sure if it's a client side issue, but I still want to share this to the team and users if useful to anybody. Otherwise, feel free to close this issue.

If this is a hard requirement, I suggestion updating the official documentation.

Thank you!

Issue Tracking Info

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

I can also confirm that I was not experiencing this behaviour prior to this performance degradation
