Request: How to set user agent for every request?

Question

Using request is it possible to set the user agent for every request?

Currently I have to set it at the time of making the request:

request.post(url, { form: form, headers: { 'User-Agent': ua }}, function(err, resp, body) {
    // Do some stuff
})

Is it possible?

Answer 1

You can create a request method with your own defaults:

var customHeaderRequest = request.defaults({
    headers: {'User-Agent': ua}
})

Then use it:

customHeaderRequest.post(url)
