My port has it's source hosted on sourceforge.net. That site has function

"unknown". I can only assume those are downloads originating from
FreeBSD systems using the "make install" method. I believe the port
system uses a fetch/ftp call to download the ports source file from
where ever it's hosted at.
Is there some fetch/ftp option to tag the ports system download request with
the operating system the request is coming from?
Libfetch uses the HTTP_USER_AGENT environment variable if set, and it
can also be set via a fetch command-line argument. If not set it
defaults to just getprogname() with the libfetch version appended.
I'm not sure what would be the best approach with respect to having
this set by default in the ports infrastructure though.
Is "Libfetch" whats used in the current port system to download the port
source?
If you could point me to where in the ports system I would find the
command that downloads the port source, then I could make the change on
my system and test if the anticipated results do in fact show up on
sourceforge.net as the os downloading the requested files.
Once I know this solution does work, then an PR should be enough to get
it implemented for 11.1.
Thanks for your help
