-  - `User-Agent: Httpful/0.1.5` + curl version + server software + PHP version
- - To bypass this "default" operation simply add a User-Agent to the request headers even a blank User-Agent is sufficient and more than simple enough to produce me thinks.
- - Completed test units for additions.
- - Added phpunit coverage reporting and helped phpunit auto locate the tests a bit easier.
