Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. While attempting to connect to a vendor URL, I get 403 Forbidden when I do not provide a user-agent with the request headers.

Describe the solution you'd like Possible suggestions:

  1. Use the current system's Safari user-agent. I'm not sure if this can be queried from the system anywhere, or if it would need to be generated
  2. The ability to set a specific user-agent in the preferences.
  3. The ability to set a specific user-agent with a command-line argument.

Describe alternatives you've considered Manually creating the recipe by hand.
