[issue1508475] transparent gzip compression in urllib [In reply to]

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka [at] gmail> added the comment:

What if the gzip module is not available?

I think, with transparent decompression should delete headers Content-Encoding (to free the user from re-decompression) and Content-Length (which is wrong).

Senthil Kumaran <senthil [at] uthcode> added the comment:

In that case, transparent decompression should not be available. (
Request header should not be sent and response wont be compressed).

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka [at] gmail> added the comment:

The patch for py3k also has the disadvantage that the content is decoded even if the user has defined a Content-Encoding and he is going to process compressed response himself.
