The browser environment in which you are in already has this set. If this is not the case, I'd say contact your browser vendor, not a bug. The field is called "User-Agent' and not User_Agent, if an application uses the wrong key, that application should be fixed, this is not a bug on Wikimedia's end imho. The User-Agent header must be sent, this policy is unlikely to change. If you prefer to send some kind of identification in environments where a User-Agent has already been set (eg. in a browser), you may use X-prefixed fields I guess. ie.
