REVISION SUMMARY Rather than simply accepting the default value for the agent string, which suggests that this library is Mozilla, we want to make requests specifically with the name of what's actually making the request. The usual reason for using the Mozilla identifier is that it makes some websites send out webpages differently, but as we are interfacing with a different type of server, we want to make sure that we are sending out who we really are, rather than spoofing.
