[jira] Updated: (HTTPCLIENT-834) Transparent Content Coding support
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-834?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
James Abley updated HTTPCLIENT-834:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: disable-content-coding.patch
Speculative patch to show how it could be disabled. If this was decided as a reasonable way to go, then the ContentEncodingProcessor would need to be made public and put into a different package, to highlight that it is part of the published API. I still strongly feel that this behaviour should be enabled by default, but it is also necessary to give us the out of turning it off. Is the special case shown here worthwhile, or could it be accomplished in another way?
Also added some additional filtering for the Content-Encoding header in the response - if the ResponseProcessor handles it, then we should probably remove the existence of that header from the client application.

> 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.
