The dll that you see in the zip is not part of the component. It is only an 
example of an implementation of a gzip "extention". The developer is free to 
use it or not. If he don't use it then the dll is not needed.

Briefly (more details in my other email) the tests that you can do are:
a) use the new httpcli to verify if it still "works" as before, i.e. it 
doesn't break your code (no gzip nor dll involved)
b) test it with your gzip implementation if you made it in a inherited 
component, again to check if it still works
c) try to implement a gzip extention that use your favorite library to verify 
if the base class make provision for this purpose. I think that this is an 
half, maximum one, hour of work.

In that case wait for the next interim version of the component.
