How do you think that all we heavily tested for weeks if nobody, except the developer(s), made any test? >2 - handling gzip compressed pages is already trivial to do in >RequestDone, I've posted code here in the past.

The work that I made is to add to the component a "plug-in interface" to help the adding of decoders. With this way the developer is free to use the decoder that is coming with ICS (actually it uses a dll), or another made by itself, or even none. If you are using VCLZip library to handle gzip content then it could be interesting to see if you are able to add it to this "new" version or if it is missing something indispensable. The same for all other developers that have added gzip or other encodings.
