Description

The support for gzipped responses via http::get, http::request, etc broke when http::Connection was updated to use the StreamingResponseDecoder, which does not support gzip encoding.

We could support gzip in the streaming response decoder, but we should think of a way to discourage misuse (i.e. getting an infinite gzipped response).
