The http package by default adds "Accept-Encoding: gzip" to outgoing
requests, unless it's a bad idea, or the user requested otherwise.
Only when the http package adds its own implicit Accept-Encoding header
does the http package also transparently un-gzip the response.
If the user requested part of a document (e.g. bytes 40 to 50), it appears
that Github/Varnish send:
range(gzip(content), 40, 50)
And not:
gzip(range(content, 40, 50))
The RFC 2616 set of replacements (with the purpose of
clarifying ambiguities since 1999) has an RFC about Range
requests (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7233) but does not
mention the interaction with encodings.
Regardless of whether range(gzip(content)) or gzip(range(content)) is
correct, this change prevents the Go package from asking for gzip
in requests if we're also asking for Range, avoiding the issue.
If the user cared, they can do it themselves. But Go transparently
un-gzipping a fragment of gzip is never useful.
Fixes #8923

README
This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.
For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html
in your web browser.
After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install-source.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install/source.
Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See doc/install.html for more details.
