Comment (by raimue):
We cannot add the header to all requests through libcurl, as web servers
might no longer send us some files. For example, if we want to download a
`.tar.gz` but only accept `text/html` as content type, the server might
reject our request.
Probably we should have a parameter to allow passing arbitrary headers
such as this "Accept:" into CurlFetchCmd from Tcl. Then it could only be
used in the livecheck code.
It gets harder to find the right regex if the content is different from
what is served to a browser, so I think we should change this in base. The
quickfix is of course to adapt the regex.
