Parity-ethereum: why the double // in web3.version.node ?

[drandreaskrueger]

The instance string is

Parity-Ethereum//v2.2.3-beta-6b0a280-20181130/x86_64-linux-gnu/rustc1.30.1

instead of

Parity-Ethereum/v2.2.3-beta-6b0a280-20181130/x86_64-linux-gnu/rustc1.30.1

like in

Geth/v1.8.14-stable-316fc7ec/linux-amd64/go1.10.3

curious: why the double // ?

The node in question here might have the Identity flag set to an empty string, or something along those lines.

Even setting --identity, the version string does not include the identity. Is this by design? Feels like a bug.

Parity

$ parity --identity=foo
...

> web3.version.node
"Parity-Ethereum//v2.4.5-unstable/x86_64-linux-gnu/rustc1.34.0"

Geth

$ geth --identity=foo

> web3.version.node
"Geth/foo/v1.9.0-unstable/linux-amd64/go1.12.1"
