Request hangs with deflate-encoded data

[georgepittock]

Example:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	fhttp "github.com/useflyent/fhttp"
	"io/ioutil"
	"log"
	"net/http"
	"time"
)

func main() {
		t := time.Second * 30
		// net/http
		client := &http.Client{Timeout: t}
		req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://httpbin.org/deflate", nil)
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
		fmt.Println("Initiating request: net/http")
		resp, err := client.Do(req)
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
		defer resp.Body.Close()
		bodyText, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
		fmt.Printf("%s\n", bodyText)

		// fhttp
		fclient := &fhttp.Client{Timeout: t}
		freq, err := fhttp.NewRequest("GET", "https://httpbin.org/deflate", nil)
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
		fmt.Println("Initiating request: fhttp")
		fresp, err := fclient.Do(freq)
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
		defer fresp.Body.Close()
		text, err := ioutil.ReadAll(fresp.Body)
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
		fmt.Printf("%s\n", text)
	}

This outputs:

Initiating request: net/http
gJ�J�L�����w^��F��M1&��o���w��=����F��X%h�hQR^��}��MD�
Initiating request: fhttp
reset err CANCEL StreamID: 1
2021/08/06 18:37:35 Get "https://httpbin.org/deflate": context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

Go version:
go version go1.16.3 windows/amd64

It appears to work with net/http but not with fhttp

Thanks, I will look into this.

Any update on this? :)

Just remove Accept-Encoding header from request.
