Hi,

I would like to suggest to add requests decompression to the gzip 
middleware. Although few browsers have the ability to compress the request 
body, some use cases exists with other type of clients when building REST 
APIs or WebDAV <http://www.webdav.org/> clients.

To my knowledge, only Apache 
mod_deflate<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_deflate.html#input> was 
providing this feature.

The idea behind this is simply to decompress the body of requests 
containing Content-Encoding: gzip header. 
I provided a working example on this branch: 
https://github.com/sebastibe/django/tree/gzip-request-middleware

What do you think about this?
