More flexible http client library for Go

Gobs of Go

Introduction

This is a collection of useful Go packages, that should make life a little easier for developers coming from other languages and/or with a common set of requirements.

Each package is hosted in its own repository, to keep the import path short and can be used independently of each other.

The current list of available packages is:

• httpclient : A friendly HTTP client, inspired by python 'requests'
• cmd : A package to write shell-like application, inspired by python cmd/cmd2
• args : A simple command line argument parser
• pretty : A pretty-printer for Go data structures

Also here:

• readline : A fork of sbinet/go-readline with completion and Windows support
• simplejson : A fork of bitly/go-simplejson

httpclient's Issues

unknown field 'WroteHeaderField'

github.com/gobs/httpclient/logging.go:236:19: unknown field 'WroteHeaderField' in struct literal of type httptrace.ClientTrace

reuseport.Dialer missing

Hello

Dialer struct is missing in package github.com/jbenet/go-reuseport

github.com/gobs/httpclient/httpclient.go:419:14: undefined: reuseport.Dialer

[Feature] Default request options

It would be awesome to be able to add some RequestOptions that will always be set on all client.SendRequest.
I would use it to add Accept and Authorization - am I missing a way that should be done ?

Honor the `Host` header in addHeaders

When the Host header is provided it seems to be correctly processed by https://github.com/gobs/httpclient/blob/master/httpclient.go#L462 , but as the Host attribute of the request object was already set by that point in https://github.com/gobs/httpclient/blob/master/httpclient.go#L541 (the HttpClient.Host attribute is never set by the way) the Host header is ignored. It seems the correct solution would be have a special case for the Host header and set the Host attribute from the request accordingly.
