Notes
User-Agent
Frontier Developments have requested that all access to both the CAPI and the Authorization service use a custom User-Agent header that matches this regular expression:
EDCD-[A-Za-z]+-[.0-9]+
e.g.
EDCD-YourApp-0.0.1
so that they can more easily track down anyone causing issues. Obviously the middle part should probably be something that aligns with the application name you gave when applying for Authorization access.
