I had a look at the function url-http-create-request. The
user-agent string is set by simply calling
url-http-user-agent-string, which in turn concats the "User Agent: URL/"
and the URL package version.
This could be customised by adding a user-defined variable (string)
url-(custom-)user-agent-string, which the user-agent-string could
return. This could be nil by default, in which case the vanila string
would be returned.
If this sounds good, I can create a patch this.
