This is following precedent established in `net/http`, by using a
shared `http.Transport`. This is necessary to ensure connections which
utilize HTTP keep-alive are reused, along with other benefits of
pooling.
the base address should be enough to make a request. All requests
are now valid without a path provided. This will be true as long

2 issues from investigating this error. First is the status check func
did not identify it was a media unsupported issue adn tries to unmarshal
the empty response body. The 2nd, was the double content type headers were
causing an error. Locally this error does not surface, cannot repoduce on
macos, but in cloud it is persistent.
