> Currently Jena has little or not support for compressed input formats.  There are the odd cases where some consideration is given e.g.
> - {{RDFLanguages.filenameToLang()}} strips off {{.gz}} extensions to help it correctly detect file types
> - HTTP responses can deal with compressed responses by virtue of Apache HttpClient
> What would be nice is to have a better strategy for handling compressed inputs.  For example having a registry of known compression extensions e.g. {{.gz}}, {{.bz2}}, {{.deflate}} which ARQ would strip off when trying to deduce format from the filename.
> It would also be useful if the various locator implementations took compression into account when opening input streams as I'm fairly sure if you asked ARQ to open a {{foo.nt.gz}} file it would just open a raw input stream and then the reading would fail.
