Ten minutes? How long does it take to type a user agent string into the curl command line?

In my case, a user agent string pretending to be Firefox is already part of my .curlrc, so it's no time at all, just grab the PoC code and fire away. (I've got commented out user-agent lines for a bunch of other browsers that I can uncomment as the need or mood strikes me.)

I'm basically assuming five minutes to read the script, negligible time to change it, and another five to make sure it worked.
