I think you could add your implementation of HttpRequestInterceptor with client.addRequestInterceptor()
or (better)
remove all interceptors that add headers to the request (RequestUserAgent, RequestDefaultHeaders, RequestClientConnControl, RequestAcceptEncoding, ...).

Removing them is also easy:

client.removeRequestInterceptorByClass(RequestAcceptEncoding.class);
