Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-816:
----------------------------------------------
HttpClient is _not_ a browser. It is an HTTP transport library.
It is irrelevant what present generation of browsers can or cannot do. We
should either provide a reasonably complete support for content encodings as
defined in RFC2616, or leave GZip compression as an option available from the
'contrib' package.

> I think HttpClient really ought to support Accept-Encoding: gzip without
> requiring any effort from the client developer. Allowing Content-Encoding:
> gzip responses can be a great bandwidth saver.
> But it also needs to cater for developers that have coded their own solution
> to this issue.
