Senthil Kumaran <orsent...@gmail.com> added the comment: The transparent gzip Content-Encoding support should be done at the http.client level code.
Before adding this feature, a question needs to be sorted out. If we support the transparent gzip and wrap the file pointer to a GzipFile filepointer, should reset the Content-Length value? What if a user of urllib is relying on the Content-Length of response to do something further? I observed that google-chrome returns the uncompressed output (which is correct for a browser), but has the Content-Length set the compressed output length. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1508475> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
