Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-834:
----------------------------------------------
I was thinking about something along this line:
{{{
enum ContentCoding { identity, gzip, deflate };
}}}
{{{
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Collection<ContentCoding> codings = (Collection<ContentCoding>)
request.getParams().getParameter(
"http.protocol.accept-encoding");
if (codings != null) {
// Add Accept-Encoding header
}
}}}
>> Although thinking about that, the new interceptor is getting added before

I am afraid it is. The content processor in its current form will break
existing code that relies on protocol interceptors to transparently handle
content encoding. This is the reason I would like to have an explicit
configuration parameter the user would have to set in order to enable content
processing.

Take a look at the default header interceptor, which populates HTTP request
headers dynamically based on a configuration parameter

> Transparent Content Coding support

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-834
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-834
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.0 Beta 3
> Environment: Any
> Reporter: James Abley
> Attachments: 834.patch
>
>
> I would like to see HttpClient features brought up to parity with other
> libraries, both in Java and other languages. c.f. Python's httplib2 (not yet
> in the standard library, but many would like to see it in there). That
> library transparently handles gzip and compress content codings.
> This issue is to capture possible solutions to providing this sort of innate
> functionality in HttpClient, so that users aren't required to know RFC2616
> intimately. The HttpClient library should do the right thing and use the
> network in the most efficient manner possible.
