Should?  Did you mean to say you would really appreciate it if Paul try t=

Offhand this one looks like it should work.

What you need to do first is verify that the HTTPUserAgent keyword works
for our port if you put it into your freshclam.conf.  See

  https://linux.die.net/man/5/freshclam.conf

What should happen with the current code is that freshclam will refuse to=

honor the request since you are attempting to download from clamav.net. 
If this happens, it's likely that the patch will allow the download to
happen.
