"Java/1.6.0_65"; but I get a 200 response when I use "clj-http.client/get", which has a User-Agent of "Apache-HttpClient/4.3.5 (java 1.5)". I'm not sure why this is the case, because HN doesn't seem to have a problem with me setting the User-Agent to either "Java" or "foo" as the value. Amendment: I did a quick search, and learned that sites have been specifically blocking User-Agents of the form "Java/xyz" for a while now, because this is typically the signature of bots that don't want to play nice and identify themselves. In light of this, I find it strange that Clojure doesn't set the user-agent to something else for its "slurp" function.

This is another attempt to fix the issue in #23.
It took me a while to gather up the nerve to submit this, as I am also really new to Clojure, and have never submitted a pull request before.
I tried to keep the changes as minimal as possible, but I couldn't avoid pulling in an extra dependency.
