@mcarans Please take a look

It works. For the example I supplied here: https://github.com/frictionlessdata/tabulator-py/issues/197#issue-255261760 it is necessary to specify both the format and the compression - it cannot be inferred. I am presuming that the inference looks at the url/path rather than sniffing the data - assuming that is so, then this is fine.

@mcarans Yes. Inferring uses file contents only for encoding for now. There is no intention to do format guessing by design. Related to zip guessing - may be we could take a look on it in a future. For now I just haven't seen the easy way to sneak it into loaders/parsers pipeline.
