Setting a custom user_agent?

[Ironholds]

Probably me being exceedingly dim and/or not understanding something obvious, but I can't for the life of me work out how to set a custom user agent (or if it's even possible the fact that user_agent is exported suggests it should be).

GET(url = "http://httpbin.org/user-agent", config = list(useragent = "turnip"))
Response [http://httpbin.org/user-agent]
  Status: 200
  Content-type: application/json
{
  "user-agent": "curl/7.32.0 Rcurl/1.95.4.1 httr/0.3"
} 

GET(url = "http://httpbin.org/user-agent", user_agent = "turnip"))
Response [http://httpbin.org/user-agent]
  Status: 200
  Content-type: application/json
{
  "user-agent": "curl/7.32.0 Rcurl/1.95.4.1 httr/0.3"
}

FYI the canonical way to set the user agent is GET("http://httpbin.org/user-agent", user_agent("turnip"))

[Ironholds]

Yeah, I tried that. No dice.

[hadley]

It should work now.

Thanks!

Could it be that the issue still prevails under cetain circumstances (e.g. running on Windows, depending on RCurl version etc.)?

Tried it today and got the same behavior as @Ironholds: stackoverflow

@Rappster could you please file a minimal reproducible example as a new issue?

[jankowtf]

Sure, I will do that.
