[R] HTTP User-Agent header

[James P. Howard, II]

I am using R in an environment where the HTTP proxy server blocks
browsers that do not send User-Agent strings.  Through some testing,
we have determined that R, by default (2.3.1) does not send a string
when performing the chooseCRANmirror() function.  Is there a setting
that allows us to manually set the User-Agent value?

Thank you, James
