James Abley commented on HTTPCLIENT-834:
----------------------------------------
I've implemented gzip and deflate support already - patch to follow once I get
my git foo sorted.
compress I'm not so familiar with, and identity is a no-op so requires no
changes.
The patch has been implemented so that it won't interfere with existing clients
if they are already setting an Accept-Encoding header in the request.
> Transparent Content Coding support

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-834
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-834
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.0 Beta 3
> Environment: Any
> Reporter: James Abley
>
> I would like to see HttpClient features brought up to parity with other
> libraries, both in Java and other languages. c.f. Python's httplib2 (not yet
> in the standard library, but many would like to see it in there). That
> library transparently handles gzip and compress content codings.
> This issue is to capture possible solutions to providing this sort of innate
> functionality in HttpClient, so that users aren't required to know RFC2616
> intimately. The HttpClient library should do the right thing and use the
> network in the most efficient manner possible.
