/**
 * Represents a parsed <l>User-Agent</l> HTTP request header.
 *
 * <p>
 * The user agent string of the user agent.
 *
 * <h5 class='figure'>Example</h5>
 * <p class='bcode w800'>
 * 	User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0
 * </p>
 *
 * <h5 class='topic'>RFC2616 Specification</h5>
 *
 * The User-Agent request-header field contains information about the user agent originating the request.
 * This is for statistical purposes, the tracing of protocol violations, and automated recognition of user agents for
 * the sake of tailoring responses to avoid particular user agent limitations.
 * User agents SHOULD include this field with requests.
 * The field can contain multiple product tokens (section 3.8) and comments identifying the agent and any sub-products
 * which form a significant part of the user agent.
 * By convention, the product tokens are listed in order of their significance for identifying the application.
 *
 * <p class='bcode w800'>
 * 	User-Agent     = "User-Agent" ":" 1*( product | comment )
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Example:
 * <p class='bcode w800'>
 * 	User-Agent: CERN-LineMode/2.15 libwww/2.17b3
 * </p>

 * <ul class='seealso'>
