They recently removed User Agent and CSRF token from signature creation process. Right now used only rhx_gis parameter and URL decoded variables from query string to generate MD5 signature. However, your findings about user agents looks interesting. I assume they may use user agent to generate rhx_gis. It could explain why auth doesnt work if you change single char in user agent.
