Http.request() does not allow gzip encoded POST responses #104

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Lines 1018-1019 in httplib2.py (0.6.0):
if method in ["GET", "HEAD"] and 'range' not in headers and 'accept-encoding' 
not in headers:
    headers['accept-encoding'] = 'gzip, deflate'

Why is gzip/deflate support only limited to these methods? I have an app that 
does HTTP-based RPC and communicates exclusively through POST requests. With 
the current httplib2 code, I can't enable compressed responses which would 
enable considerable bandwidth savings.

The workaround of course is to set accept-encoding manually, but I just have to 
wonder why POST requests are excluded from compression.

You should use pycurl,  it takes care of this issue transparently.

And how do you propose I do that when I'm using Jython?
