Description
request from JSR 124:

According to the HTTP 1.1 spec the User-Agent header should be a 
sequence of product tokens (defined in section 3.8) and comments 
(surrounded by parentheses - see section 2.2).  So how about making it:

User-Agent: javaws/1.2-beta (internal) J2SE/1.3.1

The comment (in parentheses) could be anything.

Maybe we should consider using the header primarily to indicate the 
standards supported, and only secondarily, if at all, the product.  E.g.

User-Agent: JNLP/1.2 javaws/1.2-beta (internal) J2SE/1.3.1
Work Around
N/A
Evaluation
this should be very easy to fix.  we should fix it for hopper.
