ApacheBench: add ability to override User-Agent header

           Summary: ApacheBench: add ability to override User-Agent header
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.48
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: support
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I need to benchmark a site that sends different versions of content depending on
the User-Agent presented by the HTTP client. In order to benchmark the site's
performance for the different "browser variations", I need the ability to send
benchmark requests with different User-Agent request header values. I have put
together a patch for ab.c that adds a "-U" command line argument for overrriding
the default value. Also my patch modifies the "-h" behavior so that it not only
explains the -U option, but shows the default User-Agent that is compiled into
ab, e.g. 
    -U attribute    User-Agent value to send instead of "ApacheBench/2.0.40-dev"

I hope this patch (to be attached after this ticket is created) will be
considered for inclusion into the project.

Thank you.
