FWIW... I got a question about setting user-agent yesterday. My response
was "use real wget or rsync for now".

I would be interested in getting this code into busybox.

If you post a patch, I'll take a look at it and I'll test it. Its busy
here now so I don't know how fast I can do it but sooner or later I will
because there is a real need for it here.
