Patch: gzip compression for GET responses. #62

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Here is a patch that allows responses to be gzip-compressed. It only works
on GET requests but with a little work it could be extended to POSTs too.

Gzip encoding is enabled by default in the request, but will only be
applied if the response contains a 'content-encoding' header.

You'll get crazy bandwidth savings using this. As an example a user's
timeline request went from ~9000 bytes to ~1000 bytes.

Cheers,
Luke Venediger

I tweaked the default to False because I thought it would be a huge change to 
current code and made a change 
to the twitter.API() init parameter list to allow it to be overridden
