All Implemented Interfaces:

ClientHandler

public class GZIPContentEncodingFilter
extends ClientFilter

A GZIP content encoding filter.

The request will be modified to set the Accept-Encoding header to "gzip" if that header has not already been set by the client.

If the request contains an entity and a Content-Encoding header of "gzip" then the entity will be compressed using gzip. If configured, and there does not exist a Content-Encoding header of "gzip" then such a header is added to the request and the entity will be compressed using gzip.

If the response has a Content-Encoding header of "gzip" then then the response entity will be uncompressed using gzip.
