This plugin modifies the HTTP requests made by a content management system for checking updates to its core, themes, and extensions. It is designed for developers and administrators who need to customize how their site communicates with external update servers, particularly for debugging, security, or managing custom-hosted items.

• User-Agent Modification: Changes the user-agent string in outgoing API requests, allowing you to control the identifying information sent to update servers.
• Custom API URL Monitoring: Lets you specify which API endpoints to monitor. Requests to these URLs are logged for detailed inspection.
• Detailed Request Logging: Records full request details—including headers, body, and response codes—to a dedicated database table for troubleshooting and audit purposes.
• Update Exclusion: Automatically prevents update checks for plugins and themes that specify a custom Update URI in their header, useful for managing privately distributed extensions.
• Configurable Filters: Provides hooks to customize the user-agent replacement string and the parameters sent during core update checks, offering flexibility for specific development needs.
