Custom user agent fails when running as a web application

[ryanmcfall]

The code in geocode_client.dart sets a custom User-Agent value of geocode (dart:io). I believe this was done to avoid [issues with requests being blocked by geocode.xyz])(#20).

When I build and run a web application using this package, an error occurs since Chrome won't send a custom User-Agent as part of an XMLHttpRequest call. Therefore, inside a web app, I believe calls to perform geocoding always fail.

Am I correct that the User-Agent header is needed to make the request be accepted by geocode.xyz? And if so, is there a work around to allow a web application to work?

I am having the same issue, I removed the User-Agent and instantly get rate limited. Sadly this makes the package unusable in web for now.
