I can't reproduce.  The URI you've given is correctly decompressed by Net::HTTP using ruby 2.0.0:

    $ cat test.rb
    require 'net/http'
    require 'pp'
    
    uri = URI("http://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url=http://vimeo.com/69655841&width=150")
    http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
    http.set_debug_output $stderr
    
    res = http.get(uri.request_uri)
    
    pp res.to_hash
    
    p res.body[0, 30]

    $ ruby20 -v test.rb

----------------------------------------
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)

You can test hitting http://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url=http://vimeo.com/69655841&width=150
