Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/slurdge/goeland/issues/184

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some webpages are sending HTTP 403 for goeland, but when I will use standard web browser, the RSS feed is available. I would assume that the webpages are checking User Agent.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add configuration option, per source, for configuring User Agent (like goeand will act as Firefox, or custom configurable string).

Describe alternatives you've considered
I'm not aware about more effective option now.

Additional context
Not required.
Thank you

Great idea. I'll implement this. In the meantime, do you have a RSS feed that has this behavior ?

Thank you, that would be great :-)Please get it implemented per source.Example RSS feed: https://www.reddit.com/r/rss/.rssIf the URL is accessed via standard browser, the HTTP 200 is received. If the URL is accessed via goeland or non standard browser, HTTP 403 is received.I'm not sure if user agent is the only one parameter which is checked by target page.Please let me know if more details or information are required.Thank you--S pozdravomMiroslav @.***
