Subject: 30.0.50; url.el;
 Can not change User-Agent temporarily when url-retrieve
Date: Thu, 02 Mar 2023 21:37:13 +0800

The following code cannot be used to temporarily change User-Agent

(require 'url)
(setq url-debug t)
(let ((url-user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/110.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/110.0.1587.57"))
  (url-retrieve "https://httpbin.org/get?a=b" (lambda (_))))


Because the url-retrieve is asynchronous, when the url-user-agent is actually used (eg. url-http-create-request be called),
it may be out of the let scope.
