Hi,
I'm trying to use Go to access Amazon S3. But when I tried to put an
object in a bucket, I'm keeping get 501 error from S3. A quick google
showed that it's caused by a "transfer-encoding:chunked" entry in the
header which is not supported by S3.
Anyone has idea of how to get rid of this entry in the header?

All HTTP/1.1 requests need to have either a Content-Length or be Transfer-Encoding "chunked". Amazon should support either, but they don't.

So you need to set a Content-Length on your http Request, since it can't be inferred from your http Request's Body.
