It'd be rather easy to wrap the streams in a DeflaterOutputStream or an InflaterInputStream. Of course, due to limitations in Java's deflate compression, one must extend DeflaterOutputStream to allow true stream deflation. The problem with the current implementation is that there is no way to flush a partially deflated stream -- deflate waits until it reaches an optimal spot to actually perform the deflation and do the flush.
I was talking about decompression downloads. flush() would only be needed to compress POST or PUT requests and that may be poorly supported.
