----------------------------------------------
I reviewed the patch and checked in the patch to the 4.1 branch:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/branches/branch_4_1/
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=755629&view=rev
Many thanks for this contribution, James.
I am also going to add your name to the list of project contributors, if do not
mind.
The only problem with the current approach is that there is no way to disable
or customize the way content coding is handled per default. One can remove any
standard protocol interceptor and replace it with a custom one. This obviously
will not work for ContentProcessor, which is not nice. An alternative solution
might be to simply use a different implementation class derived from
DefaultHttpClient.
I am looking forward to follow-up patches ;-)
Would you also be willing to look into content caching at some point of time?

> 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

> 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.
