Title:
  gnome-calculator not doing currency conversion

Status in gnome-calculator package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-calculator source package in Jammy:
  New
Status in gnome-calculator source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  When trying to perform currency conversion in gnome-calculator, the
  values remain unchanged instead.

  The HTTP endpoint that gnome-calculator uses to fetch up-to-date
  currency conversion rates has started requiring a valid User-Agent.
  gnome-calculator wasn't setting any user agent, so it now fails to
  download the data.

  The patch both adds a user agent string, and changes the HTTP end-
  point to one hosted by GNOME (which I believe just acts as a proxy) to
  avoid the same class of problems in the future.

  [ Test Plan ]

  1. Open "Calculator"
  2. Select "Financial" mode from the top-center menu
  3. Verify that the currency conversion section is visible
  4. Select two currencies like "Euro" and "US Dollar"
  5. Insert a number
  6. Verify that the conversion was performed and the result is visible

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  The changes are limited to the currency conversion feature.
  Unintended side-effects may affect the other unit conversion options because the UI is shared.
