Summary: Two bugs?

Initial Comment:
I download libcurl 7.15.0-1 and i've compiled it by
myself. I use a frontend (wxCURL, found on sf.net)
but i think the bugs was not frontend related.

First: i can't set user agent. I can set other header
field (f.e. referer) but user-agent won't work.
Frontend provide a SetOpt function ( a wrapper
of ..._setopt ) but user-agent never appear in the
headers. (i try to call setopt by myself directly
avoinding front-end: it doesn't work!)

Second bug(maybe front-end related?): Some site don't
work properly. For example a site of a friend of mine
(http://utenti.lycos.it/judgement/) doesn't work. I
can connect and make an head request. But if i make a
get it goes in timeout... (rarely it works by the
way...)

Uh, there's is no "7.15.0-1" version source provided by the
curl project. 7.15.1 is the latest.

Note that the frontend is not produced or supported by the
curl project. This said, we'll of course help out to
pinpoint problems. This being the curl project's bug
tracker, please rewrite your problematic programs to plain C
when you report bugs.

1. Please show us a libcurl-using program that repeats this
problem. Users all over the world can set this fine, so it
seems very strange that you can't...

2. Again please show us an example. I can get contents fine
from that site using curl.

I would rather suggest that these problems indicate a
problem with the binding.
