Difference between "lscache_runner" UA and any other UA

[serpent_driver]

Can anybody tell me what is the difference between lscache_runner UA and any other UA? Has this (crawler) UA special privileges?

Hi Michael,

Form my understanding that "lscache_runner" and "lscache_runner iPhone"(mobile view) are the most recommend method to do the crawl with lscache. It will generate the cache file only when the cache is expired and it will spend less resource when creating the cache file from server than general user-agent. No special privileges.

Best,
Eric

There must be a greater difference. If I use lscache_runner UA for cache warmup with curl instead of crawler and if I request all cached pages again, the amount of headers is much smaller and I get status code 201 instead of 200.

With "lscache_runner" it doesn't need to go through all the process for generating the cache file. Yes, the status code will be different like you tested.
I guess other peoples can explain this in more details.
