Subject: Bug#737121: ikiwiki: [PATCH] Implement configuration option to set
 the user agent string for outbound HTTP requests

Package: ikiwiki
Version: 3.20140125
Severity: wishlist

By default, LWP::UserAgent used by IkiWiki to perform outbound HTTP
requests sends the string "libwww-perl/<version number>" as User-Agent
header in HTTP requests. Some blogging platforms have blacklisted the
user agent and won't serve any content for clients using this user agent
string. With IkiWiki configuration option "useragent" it's now possible
to define a custom string that is used for the value of the User-Agent
header.
