Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-834:
----------------------------------------------

> Could you elaborate as to why you feel ContentEncodingProcessor should be 
> split out? 

I _personally_ prefer fine-grained interceptors, one per unit of work or a 
header type. For instance, one may want to remove the request interceptor that 
generates Accept-Encoding headers while still keeping the Content-Encoding 
response interceptor in the protocol chain.

> 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.
