HTTP/1.1 uses the "TE" and "Accept-Encoding" headers to specify that the client supports gzip compression. LWP should take care of the TE header automatically if the relevant modules are installed, in order to specify the Accept-Encoding header you can use $request->header(Accept_Encoding => 'gzip') Note that LWP does not automatically remove the gzip compression in this case and that there is no gurantee that the resource will indeed be gzip compressed by the server. If it is, this should be indicated in the Content-Encoding header. For some resources it is however common that it is not indicated in the response that the resource is compressed, see http://www.w3.org/mid/[EMAIL PROTECTED] for some details. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
