  Hi, Vipin! Compile the documentation with edoc:file(vipin.erl). and
  the module as c:c(vipin).
 
 
```
Google server was asking for Content-Length, and did not agree with a 0 Content-Length; see go_a().

Google server also wanted a non-null body; see go_b().
It appears that you found an old post of mine. The extra headers, e.g. REALM, APIVER, were application specific. The application you are using is referenced in the above web page I found googling 'google accounts clientlogin', and those required headers are different. Often server applications will ignore extra headers though they can tend to confuse the human reader (and code maintainer!).
