ISSUE-109: Do loaded/total count the bytes transferred with
encodings applied or not?

i.e. if you have a transfer-encoding or content-encoding, do you count
the transfer size before or after you are unpacking?
Seems to me that it makes more sense to count the data with the
relevant encodings applied - i.e. the number of bytes being pushed
over
the wire (or over the air)...
Which one does the http protocol give you when you have a Content-
Length header? There is some advantage to picking whichever that is,
since otherwise you have to ignore Content-Length and the size will
always show as unknown (since you can't predict the size change from
content/transfer encoding).
