title: User-Agent in HTTP requests, Ruby
body: <p>I'm pretty new to Ruby.  I've tried looking over the online documentation, but I haven't found anything that quite works.  I'd like to include a User-Agent in the following HTTP requests, bot get_response() and get().  Can someone point me in the right direction?</p>
  
  <pre><code>  # Preliminary check that Proggit is up
    check = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(proggit_url))
    if check.code != "200"
      puts "Error contacting Proggit"
      return
    end
  
    # Attempt to get the json
    response = Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse(proggit_url))
    if response.nil?
      puts "Bad response when fetching Proggit json"
      return
    end
  </code></pre>
