Can a request from curl look as if it came from a browser?

Can curl send a request to a web server in a way that makes it impossible
for the web server to know that it's from curl, and not a user doing a
manual webpage request in a browser?

I mean, I presume there's some way to send the equivalent of a browser
id/agent string but is there anything more subtle that would tell a server
curl's involved?
