gzip #38

If would be good if the client sent the http header 
Accept-Encoding: gzip
and could un-gzip any server response. Reduces bandwith and traffic costs

RSSServers will only gzip if the client is sending this header

Good idea. There even seems to be a GZip library for J2ME platform. Although 
this
might slow down the feed parsing since mobile devices doesn't have that much
processing power.

You are correct about the CPU cost of gunzipping so maybe you should put
this behind a configuration?

My server: http://pilot.prismakonsult.se/wapmet/rss.asp will send you approx
25 kb RSS feed unzipped but if you send the Accept-Encoding gzip header the 
chunck 
is only 4 kb

Yes, this should be configurable since bandwidth and traffic costs aren't a 
problem
to those who have unlimited data plan in mobile phones.
