Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-834:
----------------------------------------------

Welcome back, James.

Not much has changed since I committed your patch. The code is still in the 4.1 branch (to be merged down to trunk after 4.0 GA release) [1]. I am still of the same opinion that DefaultHttpClient ought not have the transparent content coding enabled per default (there are different options of solving the problem, HTTPCLIENT-838 being one). You should still consider submitting an an individual or a corporate CLA.

All discussions about HttpCore / HttpClient development should take place on the dev mailing list.

> 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.
