The W3C standard says "User agents SHOULD include this field with requests."
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.43
Some APIs will reject requests without a User-Agent.
Most notably https://api.github.com will return a 403 and the following
message.
Request forbidden by administrative rules. Please make sure your request has a
User-Agent header (http://developer.github.com/v3/#user-agent-required). Check
https://developer.github.com for other possible causes.
I think we should chose a default value for this field like most other
libraries.

How about "Phobos-std.net.curl/2.064 (libcurl/7.32.0)"?
