I've heard that some sites check things like the order of headers being sent as
well as various HTTP/2 options and even use TCP fingerprinting to try to ferret
out robots masquerading as browsers. curl can't hide itself from sites doing
that sort of client detection, but fortunately, that seems to be rare.
