From: "drbrain (Eric Hodel)" Date: 2012-05-25T07:37:55+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:45222] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6492][Open] Inflate all HTTP Content-Encoding: deflate, gzip, x-gzip responses by default Issue #6492 has been reported by drbrain (Eric Hodel). ---------------------------------------- Feature #6492: Inflate all HTTP Content-Encoding: deflate, gzip, x-gzip responses by default https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6492 Author: drbrain (Eric Hodel) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: lib Target version: 2.0.0 =begin This patch moves the compression-handling code from Net::HTTP#get to Net::HTTPResponse to allow decompression to occur by default on any response body. (A future patch will set the Accept-Encoding on all requests that allow response bodies by default.) Instead of having separate decompression code for deflate and gzip-encoded responses, (({Zlib::Inflate.new(32 + Zlib::MAX_WBITS)})) is used which automatically detects and inflated gzip-wrapped streams which allows for simpler processing of gzip bodies (no need to create a StringIO). =end -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
