A couple of suggestions: 1. Confirm with cURL that the website is definitely providing gzip'd data (you should output the content to a file, and then open it with a text editor): curl -v -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" http://foo.bar.com > output.txt 2. Consider using the example provided at http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/examples.html under "Custom protocol interceptors". This will handle gzip for you transparently.
