HttpContext.GetOverriddenUserAgent() can return null

I learned this the hard way.

We added health checks to ARR and coincidentally in the controller of the page it checks I was doing HttpContext.GetOverriddenUserAgent().Contains() because 51 degrees was incorrectly returning False for IsMobileDevice whenever I set the overridden browser.

Requests from a browser or even powershell all have values for GetOverriddenUserAgent(), but requests from ARR returned null.

Good to know! You can't assume GetOverriddenuserAgent() will not be null.

While looking at event logs I noticed whenever there was a System.Net.Mail error the w3wp.exe process would crash. 

Since when do unhandled exceptions cause the IIS process to crash? I've seen other unhandled exceptions that don't.

Linked article explains it all. I send emails in a separate thread so an unhandled exception there would cause the app to crash.
