Send request without User-Agent header

[Antony Bowesman]

Using JMeter 3.3

How can I send an http request without a User-Agent header.

I have a HeaderManager for the request, but if I don't specify as UA header, it sends something like

User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.5.3 (Java/1.8.0_102)

whereas if I specify User-Agent as an empty value, it will send an empty UA header.

It seems like HttpProtocolParams will add the http.useragent default property, so will effectively mandate the UA header.
