httpclient.Do forces closes connection

[rajat25]

httpclient.Do forces closes connection whereas hystrix.Do doesn't.
I am using httpclient.Do in my project, due to which my connection is forced closed after every request.

func (c *Client) Do(request *http.Request) (*http.Response, error) {

	request.Close = true
	var bodyReader *bytes.Reader

request.Close = true above closes the connection.

Edit:
I see that a PR #122 is raised to fix this but it is not yet merged. Can this be merged please?
