add way to specify http.Client

[Gus Soden]

The application should have option to specify the http.Client used for HTTP requests. The goamz packages currently use the http.DefaultClient. This client cannot be used in all environments.

In my case, I am trying to store data to S3 from a Google App Engine application. HTTP client requests in this environment must use a client obtained from the App Engine server request context.

Hmm, quite interesting. Do you have some sample code?

[Gus Soden (augustsoden)]

See the urfetch documentation (http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/go/urlfetch/overview.html) for examples of using an http.Client obtained from the request context.

We switched to another package for Amazon web services. We no longer need this feature.

In order to get goamz working with my own GAE app, I've made the changes in lp:~aefalcon/goamz/goamz-client .
