GZip is part of the standard HTTP protocol - your http request sends an accepted encodings header, and has to unzip the content afterwards. I implemented it for the python pywikipediabot framework, but it should be available in most http libs.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I apologize if this has been mentioned earlier and I missed it, but:<br>
<br>
I infer that GZip compression is available when making api calls, but<br>
I can&#39;t find any documentation on it. Can someone point me in the<br>
right direction to get started?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Ian<br>
