Description

Get content decoders using the Java Service Loader mechanism.

Current decoders are hard-coded for gzip and deflate.

The goal is to allow the client to find other decoders through the Java Service Loader mechanism.

• The client will find its own gzip and deflate decoders through this mechanism.
• The client will find the decoders supported by Apache Commons Compress if the upcoming httpclient5-compress module is present.
