I think we should add tests for these. These could either be a separate test or the existing 'User-Agent` tests could be expanded.

The test should be patform sensetive - I'd prefer new separate test.

@iSazonov I agree.
@LDSpits you can use these tests as a base. Please include tests for both Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod

@LDSpits Also, it looks like the Windows platform part is supposed to include the <major>.<minor> version of windows (6.1, 10.0, etc.). I wouldn't call this a requirement, but if you could add that too it would be great!

@iSazonov I actually personally like parsing [RuntimeInformation]::OSDescription. The parsing is a one-time effort and pretty easy. I know you might concern about the consistency of the string value returned from this property ... :)

Yes. Ex. - What about Unix? I wouldn't trust OSDescription. I'd prefer to discuss all our User-Agent string (properties) before enhance this one.

I don't think we need the version info for Linux. This is what I got when using chrome to send request to http://httpbin.org/user-agent:

Windows: (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64)
Ubuntu: (X11; Linux x86_64)

Please see FireFox. Specially MacOS and Android.

@daxian-dbw is correct. The OS version numbers in the platform are only sent for Windows platforms. Linux platforms send either X11 or Linux (Linux is used more in CLI based HTTP agents). macOS sends Machintosh. None of those with versions.
