I've searched the boards and the FAQ but can't find anything ...

so I was wondering if it is possible to enter a custom user agent string for VMIX data source when requesting JSON data from a URL?

The reason I ask is some hosting companies out there are blocking all requests to URLs on their servers that have a blank "HTTP_USER_AGENT" in the GET request.

Better to tell those hosting companies that they need to stop playing petty games.
