Ref #872.

It turns out both requests and httpx adds a default header with Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate. The Vespa container also replies with content-encoding: gzip

The behavior can be verified with

import requests
import httpx

# Using requests
requests_response = requests.get('https://httpbin.org')
print("Requests - Accept-Encoding header:", requests_response.request.headers.get('Accept-Encoding'))

# Using httpx
httpx_response = httpx.get('https://httpbin.org')
print("HTTPX - Accept-Encoding header:", httpx_response.request.headers.get('Accept-Encoding'))

They will also be decompressed automatically. See:

• From httpx docs:

  Any gzip and deflate HTTP response encodings will automatically be decoded for you.

• From requests FAQ:

  Requests automatically decompresses gzip-encoded responses, and does its best to decode response content to unicode when possible.

This PR adds integration tests to test for this.

Thanks for investigating this
