--- Comment #2 from Joe Barbish <qjail1 at a1poweruser.com> ---
Previous stated "Currently distfiles are fetched with the default User-Agent
used by fetch(1) which looks like "fetch libfetch/2.0"."

I take it that the default User-Agent information is hard codded in the fetch
utility source or maybe more correctly in the libfetch source.

Changing the hard codded User-Agent information from "fetch libfetch/2.0" to
"FreeBSD" would accomplish the same goal as making changes to the ports
framework to override fetch's default User-Agent information.

I have no preference about how the goal gets accomplished. All I want to see is
that all port fetches get marked as coming from a FreeBSD operating system.
