[chef-dev] Server Flavor Header Changes Coming in Chef Server 12

[Douglas Triggs < >]

Hi all.

With the recent server changes, i.e., the merging of open source and 
enterprise flavors of chef, we've changed the server flavor of the new server 
core to report as "cs" (for "Chef Server") instead of the previous values 
that each of the servers reported ("ec" or "osc").  This showed up in the 
"X-Ops-API-Info" header (i.e., as something like 
"flavor=ec;version=11.1.0;...").

So, the new version would look something like "X-Ops-API-Info: 
flavor=cs;version=12.0.0;...".

We've tested this internally, but if you maintain a tool that uses the Chef 
Server REST API, be aware that this will be changing, and that (if your tool 
validates against server flavor) you may need to change it.  Please to be 
testing.

This change will drop in the next release candidate.

Thanks!

Doug
