[jira] [Comment Edited] (HTTPCLIENT-1895) GzipDecompressingEntity
ignores everything but the first GZIP stream, non-compliant with RFC 1952
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1895?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16319474#comment-16319474 ]

I've seen nothing so far that is worth appreciating. Quite the contrary, taking the time to report a bug is appreciated in the open source community.
As for open source, news flash, so it every other software today, including open source HTTP clients. Obviously, no one can force you to fix a bug. However, I suggest reconsidering the "we are doing you a favor, please smile" attitude.

> For a GZIP stream containing multiple sub streams, {{GzipDecompressingEntity}} ignores everything but the first GZIP stream. This is non-compliant behavior with [RFC 1952|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1952]. Quoting section 2.2:
> {quote}
> A gzip file consists of a series of "members" (compressed data sets). The format of each member is specified in the following section. The members simply appear one after another in the file, with no additional information before, between, or after them.

> Detailed discussion about this bug can be found in [square/okhttp#3759|https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/3759], including [comment|https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/3759#issuecomment-356110268] from Mark Adler, co-author of GZIP.
