(In reply to Christian Gutzler from comment #1 Hi Axel (and rest of the world
using signal-cli@FreeBSD):

There is a workaround available and I suggest using it as long as an upgraded
port is not available. It´s simply replacing the user agent string with a new
version (2x) in the base class:

https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/issues/1022 https://geometry-dashonline.com

Needs to be adapted for FreeBSD due to a) older version number and b) different
behaviour of sed:

cd /usr/local/share/signal-cli/lib/
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
unzip ../signal-cli-0.9.0.jar 
sed -i .h2ksux 's/Signal-Android\/5.22.3/Signal-Android\/5.51.7/g'
org/asamk/signal/BaseConfig.class 
zip -r ../signal-cli-0.9.0.jar org/ META-INF/

Greetings from Mannheim and have fun
Christian)
Is there a specific reason for choosing version "5.51.7" as the replacement
user agent string, and would this workaround continue to work if Signal updates
its server requirements again?
