Sudheera Palihakkara commented on HTTPCLIENT-1895:
--------------------------------------------------
[~olegk] I'm happy to. One question though, For *GzipDecompressingEntity*, RFC
1952 compliance coming from *GZIPInputStream.java* which is a part of
_java.util.zip_ package. I was testing in _Oracle's JDK 1.8_ and according to
[this|https://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=4691425] bug report, RFC 1952
compatibility was introduced in _6u21_ . Since HTTPCLIENT-1895 is reported
against version _4.5.4_ and that is supposed to be built on _Java 1.6 _ it will
be problematic to incorporate this test case in the code isn't it? Also I'm not
sure about the compliance of other JDK implementations.

> For a GZIP stream containing multiple sub streams,
> {{GzipDecompressingEntity}} ignores everything but the first GZIP stream.
> This is non-compliant behavior with [RFC
> 1952|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1952]. Quoting section 2.2:
> {quote}
> A gzip file consists of a series of "members" (compressed data sets). The
> format of each member is specified in the following section. The members
> simply appear one after another in the file, with no additional information
> before, between, or after them.
