Though it'd probably make sense to actually _support_ Accept-Encoding based on available compression modules within the stdlib http.client (and potentially server) as a prerequisite for that reasoning. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/http/client.py#L1168. -gps > P.S. > I worked with lz4 python binding a year ago. > It sometimes crashed to core dump when used in multithreaded environment > (we used to run compressor/decompresson with asyncio by > loop.run_in_executor() call). > I hope the bug is fixed now, have no update for the current state. > > On Thu, Nov 29, 2018 at 12:04 PM INADA Naoki <songofaca...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> On Thu, Nov 29, 2018 at 6:27 AM Steven D'Aprano <st...@pearwood.info> >> wrote: >> > >> > On Wed, Nov 28, 2018 at 10:43:04AM -0800, Gregory P.
