   This seemed like a good idea, so I quickly added a new config.json value that lets you set the User-Agent header.

   It's documented here --

   Let me know if it works.

   Hi,

   What should i change the User Agent headers to? It looks like socks5-https-client requires edit to the request headers.

   var Agent = require('socks5-http-client/lib/Agent');
   
   request({
   	url: 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS',
   	agentClass: Agent,
   	agentOptions: {
   		socksHost: 'my-tor-proxy-host', // Defaults to 'localhost'.
   		socksPort: 9050 // Defaults to 1080.
   	}
   }, function(err, res) {
   	console.log(err || res.body);
   });
   

   I think i'll have to npm install socks5 first, then pass the Agent into the request.
