Control the http sending of Accept-Encoding?

[jimr]

Folks,

I'd like to be able to control an http request's Accept-Encoding

header, specifically I'd like to *not* send

  'Accept-Encoding: gzip'

for some specific operations I run.  It doesn't appear as though

I can accomplish this by using req.Header.Del.  Is there some

other way I can gain control over this header?

Looking at the http package code it appears as though I might

in some way construct my own http.Client and override the

Transport to disable compression, but it's not initially clear to

me if that's correct or how to do so properly.

Is someone here able point me at the relevant code?

Jim

Ah, reading a bit more of the code, is something like this supposed

to be how we handle it?

        ...

client := &http.Client{}

        transport := &http.Transport{Proxy: http.ProxyFromEnvironment} 

transport.DisableCompression = true

client.Transport = transport

        rsp, err := client.Do(req)
