I am using OkHttp 3 and trying to remove accept-encoding header completely from requests made by OkHttpClient.
I use .removeHeader("accept-encoding") on the Request object, but the header still appears in the request.
Is there a way to remove the header completely and not just replace it with a different value?
You can remove it using a network interceptor.
final class AcceptEncodingInterceptor implements Interceptor {
@Override public Response intercept(Interceptor.Chain chain) throws IOException {
Request request = chain.request();
.newBuilder()
.removeHeader("Accept-Encoding")
.build();
return chain.proceed(request);
}
}
The the interceptor like this:
new OkHttpClient.Builder()
...
.addNetworkInterceptor(new AcceptEncodingInterceptor())
.build();
Note that is has to be addNetworkInterceptor, simply addNetworkInterceptor does not work.
