URL currently doesn't support custom user agents. This could be
implemented by adding a defcustom string url-user-agent which could be
changed by the
user.
The default value could be:
(format "User-Agent: %sURL/%s\r\n"
(if url-package-name
(concat url-package-name "/" url-package-version " ")
"") url-version)
I have attached a patch to add support for custom user agents in URL.

I think this makes sense, but it has to wait until after the feature
freeze.

Stefan, can you please look at this patch? It would also help with
#18812 which requests the ability to specify a more detailed User-Agent
string.

I haven't looked in detail, but I'm all in favor of such a feature in trunk.

I added it (with an option to use a function call); marking this as
done and I hope you find it useful.

Right, sorry. Would this be sufficient?
