To disable sending User-Agent header:

request.UserAgent = null;

To manipulate Accept-Encoding header:

request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.None;

or

request.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.AcceptEncoding] = "custom-value";

The request variable can be created like this:

var creator = new HttpRequestCreator();
HttpRequest request = creator.Create("url");

or this:

creator.Register();
HttpRequest request = (HttpRequest)WebRequest.Create("url");

Unfortunately, it is not possible to achieve this in current version.

However, it is very easy to implement it. It will be changed in the near future.

If you are interested in a beta version, please let us know.
