Re: Bug? HttpMethod.removeRequestHeader( "User-Agent" ) does not remove the header

[Michael Becke]

If the User-Agent header is null the default value is used (take a look 
at HttpMethodBase.addUserAgentRequestHeader()).  This value is loaded 
from the system property "httpclient.useragent" and defaults to 
"Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/2.0alpha3".  To change this value you 
should either set the "httpclient.useragent" system property or set the 
User-Agent header to something other than null.

If I call:

   HttpMethod.setRequestHeader( "User-Agent", null ) ;

... the header is there without any value.
If I call:
   HttpMethod.setRequestHeader( "User-Agent", null ) ;
   HttpMethod.removeRequestHeader( "User-Agent" ) ;
... the User-Agent header is again not removed and the value is 
"Jakarta-Commons-Httpclient .. .blah"
