Summary:  Missing port value in HTTP Host header

Original Submission:  When MLDK connects a Gnutella Web Cache the hostname in 
the Host header is not followed port value even if the server isn't on TCP port 
80. For example, if the server is on port 8080, the header should look like 
this:

Host: gwc.example.com:8080

MLDK however sends this:

Host: gwc.example.com

Which implies port 80. Most HTTP servers probably ignore this, but I wouldn't 
rely on it. I assume this a generic problem of the HTTP interface and not only 
in the Gnutella plug-in.

I think the problem is in src/utils/net/http_client.ml (see attachment). I 
don't know whether the syntax in my patch is correct but you should get the 
idea. The patch corrects also the HTTP User-Agent header. The product version 
should be separated by a '/' not a whitespace (see RFC 2616 section 3.8). It's 
a pitty that this header isn't set in *one* place but all over the place and 
the caps weren't consistent either.
