### set_user_agent(http, user_agent) | source code
    Set the user-agent on every request.

    Args:
       http - An instance of httplib2.Http
           or something that acts like it.
       user_agent: string, the value for the user-agent header.

    Returns:
       A modified instance of http that was passed in.

    Example:

      h = httplib2.Http()
      h = set_user_agent(h, "my-app-name/6.0")

    Most of the time the user-agent will be set doing auth, this is for the rare
    cases where you are accessing an unauthenticated endpoint.

### tunnel_patch(http) | source code
    Tunnel PATCH requests over POST.
    Args:
       http - An instance of httplib2.Http
           or something that acts like it.

    Returns:
       A modified instance of http that was passed in.

    Example:

      h = httplib2.Http()
      h = tunnel_patch(h, "my-app-name/6.0")

    Useful if you are running on a platform that doesn't support PATCH.
    Apply this last if you are using OAuth 1.0, as changing the method
    will result in a different signature.
