Tomcat v7.0.6,  Windows Server 2008 SP2

I note that tomcat's connector's can be configured to automatically handle compression of 'large' respones using gzip. Tomcat can also be deployed behind Apache so that it can unzip/deflate requests. There used to be a GzipInputFilter; http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-dev&m=108073098630505&w=2 <http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-dev&m=108073098630505&w=2> Is there a recommended way using tomcat to support decompression of gzip'd HTTP requests when not deploying behind Apache (apart from writing my own decompression filter), and why was the support for automatic decompression of requests removed?

I am interested in
- HTTP 1.1 requests with NOTransfer-Encoding set and Content-Encoding of the entity body ( not multipart ) set to gzip
principally.

I note that
- HTTP 1.1 requests with Transfer-Encoding: gzip
seems to be unsupported by tomcat.

Thankyou for your time.
