Wikipedia now requires a user-agent header

But if do not send a user-agent header then will get an error page that states servers are undergoing maintenance or there was a technical error; there's nothing about a new requirement for a user-agent header

Need to read the HTTP response headers to discover the new user-agent header requirement and the https://w.wiki/4wJS URL

(Cannot access this URL without sending a user-agent header)
