Michael Lee commented on HTTPCLIENT-1843:
-----------------------------------------

Hi [~abernal] and other developers,

One concern from me (a user) is that Commons Compress and its dependencies will 
add an additional 2.48 MB to projects using HttpClient:
 * commons-compress-1.27.1.jar: 1.0 MB
 * commons-codec-1.17.1.jar: 363 KB
 * commons-io-2.16.1.jar: 496 KB
 * commons-lang3-3.16.0.jar: 658 KB

I have a few projects using only httpclient5, httpcore5-h2 and httpcore5 (and 
none of the above Commons libraries) which are only about 1.96 MB in size:
 * httpclient5-5.4.jar: 886 KB
 * httpcore5-h2-5.3.jar: 232 KB
 * httpcore5-5.3.jar: 885 KB

The size increase is quite dramatic if the use of Commons Compress is 
mandatory. Can you re-consider the original approach of creating a separate 
httpclient5-compress module?

Thanks.

> Allow users to benefit from the support of various algorithms supported

> [Apache Commons Compress|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-compress/] 
> 1.14 will support Brotli when released.
> HttpClient should be recoded to find codec implementaions based on a Java 
> {{ServiceLoader}}. Then, {{httpclient5-compress}} can add to that registry if 
> it is on the classpath, the user will not have to do anything extra.
