Accept-Encoding:gzip

[Shaun Elliott]

The following code works in v4.2.x

public class RestClientTest {
    private static final Executor EXECUTOR = Executor.newInstance();

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        Request request =
Request.Get("http://www.google.com/";).addHeader("Accept-Encoding",
"gzip");
        Response response = request.execute();//        Response
response = EXECUTOR.execute(request);
        Header[] headers = response.returnResponse().getAllHeaders();
        for (Header header : headers) {
            System.out.println(header);
        }
    }
}


Returned in response headers:

Content-Encoding: gzip


But, if I update my version, to 4.3.x+ it no longer works. It appears based
on this comment:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-816?focusedCommentId=13998604&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13998604

That gzip encoding was only available in 4.2.x. Is this the case, or is
there another explanation? Can we get gzip encoding in versions later than
4.2.x?

Thanks,
