If are really convinced this is a good idea you will have to remove RequestContent interceptor from the protocol processing chain. http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.5.x/httpclient/xref/org/apache/http/impl/client/HttpClientBuilder.html#1079 The only way to do so it set a custom HttpProcessor when building HttpClient instance with HttpClientBuilder. This can be done but one needs to be careful when assembling a custom HttpProcessor. There are several protocol interceptors whose absence in the protocol processing chain is very likely to cause unexpected behavior. Proceed at your own risk.
