Would be great if bhttp could support deflate and gzip decompression.

Likewise, a hook for iconv decoding/encoding would be awesome.

A big :+1: here — one of the basic tenets of web-scraping etiquette is to reduce the load on the scraped server; lack of this makes bhttp a bit of a sketchy choice for web-scraping (for which it's otherwise excellent!)
