Curl does things like this:

GET / HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: curl/7.19.7 (universal-apple-darwin10.0) libcurl/7.19.7
OpenSSL/0.9.8l zlib/1.2.3
Host: 127.0.0.1:12345
Accept: */*

That's a swell User-Agent value. Very informative.

In my application, I want to send an informative User-Agent such as this
but modified to identify also my application. Hence I want to find the
proper UA string for the php curl instance on the server so that I can
manipulate it.

So can I read such a string value in a PHP script?

On other words: We are given a UA setter curl_setopt(,
CURLOPT_USERAGENT,). Is there a corresponding UA getter?
