A version file is generated during the build. The Web client reads this file to build a user agent string. The user agent is added only if the user has not set one.

Many public APIs want requests with a
User-Agentheader. Some of them apply low rate limits to "anonymous" agent requests, some (GitHub) just deny them (403).Most HTTP libraries set this header by default:
Java/_version_Python-urllib/_version_Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/_version_Apache-HttpClient/_version_curl/_version_okhttp/_version_The list goes on.
I suggest we add a default one with this format
Vert.x-WebClient/3.4.0(as per RFC 2616)The version of course must be adapted to the current artifact version.
