Golang http client support

From the technology support page and a blog article I do understand that it should be possible to track http client requests done in golang via net/http.

I have a custom application that is receiving http requests, mapping/multiplexing them and then doing multiple parallel http client requests against a webservice using the following code (simplified):

// many of these requests are created first
newreq,_ := http.NewRequest(req.Method, url, bytes.NewBuffer(payload))
newreq.Header.Add("Authorization", "Api-Token " + token)
newreq.Header.Add("Content-Type", "application/json")
...
//later the requests are executed
resp, err := client.Do(&r)

I'd have expected to see the http client calls on the PurePaths or on the stack but they seem to be not tracked.

The calls are actually made to a Dynatrace Cluster API that is also connected to the same Dynatrace Tenant so I'd have hoped for a service flow from the go "proxy" to the tenant APIs but instead I only see the go service and the incoming call on the Dynatrace API side.
