I am hitting some limits of plain text transfer and would like to gzip it. Any possibility of using the GzipOutputStream with requestHTTP?
If not implemented yet, I was thinking about using a similar method like in the HTTPClientResponse. There the OutputStream type for the bodyReader gets determined by some headers (chunked, gzip, limited, etc.).
For the HTTPClientRequest it would then work like this: if you would set the appropriate gzip header before calling the bodyReader, it would then be instantiated with a GzipOutputStream upon calling the bodyReader property.
How 'bout that?
It doesn't make sense. It was obvious it won'the work but took me some time to realise:)
