Does (or will?) HttpClient handle compressed content ?
I've searched the documentation and source, and the only references to
zip / compression seem to be in the content-type lists. [Also searched
Bugzilla]
Just double-checking:
It seems that HttpClient does not automatically handle compressed responses.
Is this the case, or have I missed something?
Asuming no, are there any plans to include decompression in the future?

FWIW, I agree with you, Oleg.

No. There are no such plans. HttpClient should not have any content
processing code. Compression / decompression logic can be easily built
on top of HttpClient. Anything that has to do with the content
processing does not belong to a generic HTTP library
