Enabled receiving GZip compressed content over HTTP. #137

Original report from Matt Robinson at 11:43:30 on 2010-11-14

Most of the HTTP requests made by Radio Downloader and its providers are made via the CachedWebClient class.

As Radio Downloader makes quite a large number of automated requests to remote sites, it would be worthwhile supporting gzip compressed HTTP responses, as this would reduce the impact on remote servers that support it, reduce the amount of bandwidth used by Radio Downloader, and speed up these requests.

Imported from Bug 340 in the NerdoftheHerd.com Bugzilla.
