Please add User-Agent header

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I’m an engineer at Let’s Encrypt. We rely on User-Agent headers from ACME clients to figure out unusual access patterns. Lately I’ve seen a number of clients in our logs with no User-Agent header. After email a few of the owners, I’ve found that at least some of those people are using Certes. Could you please add a User-Agent header identifying Certes? Here’s what RFC 8555 has to say on the topic:

ACME clients MUST send a User-Agent header field, in accordance with
[RFC7231]. This header field SHOULD include the name and version of
the ACME software in addition to the name and version of the
underlying HTTP client software.

The maintainer of this repo appears to be MIA. Maybe time to fork?
