Description

After some discussions in HTTPCLIENT-1651 we have agreed that two options for compression is too confusing. HttpClient shall request compression and decompress automatically or leave it off completely to the client code. Hence, deprecate (4.5)/remove (5.0) RequestConfig#decompressionEnabled in favor of #contentCompressionEnabled. For those who still require a compressed stream, simply add a Accept-Encoding request header.
