If you want to change the Http Header Accept-Encoding, you chang like this

httpPostRequest.setHeader("Accept-Encoding", "identity");

Your codes

final List nameValuePairs = new ArrayList(6);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Host: ", "a.host.com");
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Accept-Encoding: ", "identity"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Content-Length: ", "6"));

httpPostRequest.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

are used to send the value pairs in the http request body, NOT IN THE HEADER
