I've been writing libcurl-using programs and scripts that impersonate browsers
for many years and I have yet to find a site that detect browser based on
header order.
But of course, if it would happen and I really wanted to make my program still
work with the site, I'd introduce an option that would dictate the order of
the outgoing libcurl headers. ;-)
