Subject: [ruby-core:60353] [Backport200 - Backport #9467] [Open] Net::HTTP does unzip zipped content

Issue #9467 has been reported by Amitav Mohanty.

----------------------------------------
Backport #9467: Net::HTTP does unzip zipped content
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9467

* Author: Amitav Mohanty
* Status: Open
* Priority: High
* Assignee: Amitav Mohanty
* Category: 
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0p353 (2013-11-22 revision 43784) [x86_64-linux]
----------------------------------------
According to the Compression section of the documentation of Net::HTTP, it should automatically uncompress compressed responses. However, when I tried with a number of JSON requests with different servers, I am not getting automatic decompression.

require 'net/http'
uri = URI("http://yourhost.com")
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
res = http.get(uri.request_uri)
