I sure think this is necessary! fopen() or even include() is the
easiest way to "tunnel" a website throgh another, but without the
ability to use the same agent identifier as the calling browser the
called website will send the wrong data if it distingishes between
different browsers. The user may get javascript errors for example.

I don't think this is really necessary. The fopen wrappers were
designed for consistency among different ways of getting data, not to
support every little detail of every protocol. If you do need greater
control, I suggest using cURL functions.

I totally forgot about INI :-)

Why not an ini setting like fopen.user_agent ?
I think we should use the INI infrastructure if we want to make thsi
customizeable at all. There's no need to add a new function when we
simply can do
ini_set("fopen.user_agent", "foobar");
We can even query it with ini_get(), means we don't need a
get_user_agent() and we can give it a default value like "PHP <version
numer>" if it's not set at all.

Maybe a set_user_agent() function?
