Description

Implement support for HTTP-based wagon providers to utilize HTTP compression (gzip?). For downloads, this would entail sending Accept-Encoding headers to indicate that a server can compress the response. For uploads, as with WebDAV, this would entail compressing the content and setting the appropriate Content-Type values.
