What user agent does the emby for kodi addon report to the server?

The reason for asking is I have a reverse proxy in front of my emby server for SSL and i implement a bot blocker. It works fine for normal web interface / chromecast but it blocks the emby for kodi addon.

Upon further inspecting my log files, it looks like it does not send a user agent

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [28/Apr/2017:20:51:48 +0100] "GET /emby/Users/Public?format=json HTTP/1.1" 444 0 "-" "-"

Is it possible for it to send an identifier / useragent?

Okay after further digging it does start to report a user agent and that is

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [28/Apr/2017:22:36:24 +0100] "GET /emby/Users/Public?format=json HTTP/1.1" 444 0 "-" "python-requests/2.12.4"

python-requests/2.12.4

 

This appears to be the addon syncing / talking to the server etc

 

When playing it reports the kodi device such as 

"OSMC (Linux; OSMC 2017.03-1)

Is it possible for the addon to report itself as "Emby for Kodi" or similar?
