Subject: Ignore attempts to set "application_name" in the connection startup packet.
X-Git-Tag: REL8_1_19~7
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=532ae854ccc5527906dccdcbaf7ca5d5c533d8f7;p=thirdparty%2Fpostgresql.git

Ignore attempts to set "application_name" in the connection startup packet.
This avoids a useless connection retry and complaint in the postmaster log
when receiving a connection from 8.5 or later libpq.

Backpatch in all supported branches, but of course *not* HEAD.
