# Respect User-Specified User-Agent in WebBaseLoader This pull request modifies the `WebBaseLoader` class initializer from the `langchain.document_loaders.web_base` module to preserve any User-Agent specified by the user in the `header_template` parameter. Previously, even if a User-Agent was specified in `header_template`, it would always be overridden by a random User-Agent generated by the `fake_useragent` library. With this change, if a User-Agent is specified in `header_template`, it will be used. Only in the case where no User-Agent is specified will a random User-Agent be generated and used. This provides additional flexibility when using the `WebBaseLoader` class, allowing users to specify their own User-Agent if they have a specific need or preference, while still providing a reasonable default for cases where no User-Agent is specified. This change has no impact on existing users who do not specify a User-Agent, as the behavior in this case remains the same. However, for users who do specify a User-Agent, their choice will now be respected and used for all subsequent requests made using the `WebBaseLoader` class.
