[bug #57884] wget reveals my operating system to the server

[Bruno Haible]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #57884 (project wget):

What about the version number? It can reveal whether a system is regularly
patched or not. A string like "User-Agent: Wget/1.10.2" would be an invitation
to search for security vulnerabilities on all ports of the machine.
