python 3 ignores Content-Encoding header and doesn't decompress content

[GoogleCodeExporter]

feedparser.parse('http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/atom10.xml') returns a 
bozo:
'bozo_exception': SAXParseException('not well-formed (invalid token)',)

feedparser.parse(urllib.request.urlopen('http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/ato
m10.xml')) works as expected.

I'm on Microsoft Vista Home.
Python version: 3.2
Feedparser version: 5.0.1

Fixed in r378.

Python 2 normalizes HTTP headers to lowercase, and Python 3 doesn't, but 
because there weren't any tests to exercise the content decompression code 
(gzip and zlib), the problem doesn't manifest in the unit tests. I was able to 
reproduce the problem and it's now fixed for me, but please download the very 
latest code [1] and try again. If this is still a problem, please revisit this 
report, or you run into another bug don't hesitate to open a new report!
