Hi Oleg,

In HTTPReq.c function HTTPMakeRequest there is code to generate that field:

 ....

 if (request_mask & HT_C_USER_AGENT) {
        PUTS("User-Agent: ");
        PUTS(HTLib_appName());
        PUTC('/');
        PUTS(HTLib_appVersion());
        PUTC(' ');
        PUTS(HTLib_name());
        PUTC('/');
        PUTS(HTLib_version());
        PUTBLOCK(crlf, 2);
    }

Try to remove HTLib_name and HTLib_version:

 if (request_mask & HT_C_USER_AGENT) {
        PUTS("User-Agent: ");
        PUTS(HTLib_appName());
        PUTC('/');
        PUTS(HTLib_appVersion());
        PUTBLOCK(crlf, 2);
    }
