Getting rid of error 'refused to set unsafe header "user-agent"' #167

Closed vinicius-grandi closed 2 years ago

Header{ 'User-Agent': 'WikiJS Bot v1.0' } is problematic, because some browsers throw this error when "User-agent" is used as an argument in function xhr.setRequestHeader(name, value) from cross-fetch module. I don't know if it's useful for something, so I'd be glad if someone could explain it to me.
