The Matlab docs show that urlread and urlwrite accept keyword/option arguments to specify things like UserAgent so to be compatible, Octave should do the same.
I'm attaching a preliminary partial solution. Things that still need to be done:
(file #36858)
Octave should set its own User-Agent string in all outgoing http requests. Ideally this could be configurable by the user, but there should be a default. As it is now it is unset, which means no User-Agent header is sent. The default should indicate that GNU Octave is the client, which version, and what operating system it is running on. This should apply to both the url_transfer class (used by the GUI) as well as the urlread and urlwrite command-line functions. This would be a nice small self-contained project for a new contributor to work on.
