Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCLIENT-816.
------------------------------------------

       Resolution: Won't Fix
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 3.1.1)

James,

There is no point fixing this issue in HttpClient 3.x, because it is on its way 
to end of life. 

One can easily add support for GZIP compression in HttpClient 4.0 with a custom 
protocol interceptor:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/trunk/module-client/src/examples/org/apache/http/examples/client/ClientGZipContentCompression.java

> I think HttpClient really ought to support Accept-Encoding: gzip without 
> requiring any effort from the client developer. Allowing Content-Encoding: 
> gzip responses can be a great bandwidth saver.
> But it also needs to cater for developers that have coded their own solution 
> to this issue.
