Some web servers (e.g. Facebook video) misinterpret the current
User-Agentstring as if the app was a feature phone and was only able to parse WML content, e.g.:So, append "wp-android/" to the WebView's default
User-Agentstring and use it instead:This pull request references iOS project's (PR: wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/pull/4444, issue: wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/issues/4295) problem with Facebook video embed code not loading properly because of a short-spoken
User-Agentstring.While Android app itself doesn't have this problem (it uses its custom
User-Agentonly in a few select places), it would be neat to have the same UA format across projects for the sake of analytics.
