Make TE Header optional

[adiykehler]

I'm using Fuel Version 2.3.1 on Openjdk 17.0.8.1.
I have encountered an application that rejects any HTTP requests containing the TE header. I would like to remove this header from the requests made with Fuel. Could you please add an option to remove the TE header entirely.

I tried using the RequestInterceptor, but the header seems to be added later on. It is not present when using the HttpUrlConnection, so I suspend this to be something added by Fuel.

FuelManager().apply {
    addRequestInterceptor(
        object : FoldableRequestInterceptor {
            override fun invoke(next: RequestTransformer): RequestTransformer {
                return { request ->
                    println(request.headers)
                    request.headers.remove("TE")
                    next(request)
                }
            }
        }
    )
}
