Since the software that is making HTTP requests is still curl, I would like this user agent to also include the default curl UA.
I can replace User-Agent with -A, but is it possible ...
I have a VM on a host with bridged networking (hence, with its own MAC address). Both host and VM run CentOS. Their network is managed by simple /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enpXsY files which contains the static IP addresses. IPv4 works just fine.

rfc5952, section 4.2.2 "Handling One 16-Bit 0 Field" goes:
The symbol "::" must not be used to shorten just one 16-bit 0 field. For example, the representation
2001:db8:0:1:1:1:1:1 is correct, but
2001:db8::1:1:1:1:1 is not correct.
The kawamura-03 draft has a hint as to why:
