Banned from OSM

[kevsgithub]

Rmaps and many other apps have been banned from OpenStreetMaps due to generic Useragent and incorrect usage of cache control.
User agent must contain the app name.

Useragent should probably be the Android device and rmaps version, eg :
Samsung s4 mini - RMaps.0.9.4.1-xavPatch.1

I've had a quick skim of the source code and found these :

RMaps-xavPatch/RMaps.AppLib/src/com/robert/maps/applib/downloader/FileDownloadListActivity.java

Line 98 in 4406732

//connection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Java bot");

This force skip of OSM cache is just wrong on so many levels, no wonder apps like this have been banned.

RMaps-xavPatch/RMaps.AppLib/src/com/robert/maps/applib/downloader/FileDownloadListActivity.java

Line 97 in 4406732

connection.setRequestProperty("Cache-Control", "no-cache");

Thanks for maintaing rmaps for the very few of us who still think it's the best :) 👍

There have been warning signs for this for quite a while.
