See https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/11607

We use two different HTTP clients in the Directory, vanilla Curl and WebRequest, and each have their own User-Agent setting. The WebRequest User-Agent has been flagged in malware database.

The plan is to replace both systems with a Guzzle client that can be instantiated once with a custom User-Agent using the software version and used all across the application.
