Azure Search .NET Client API supporting gzip compression on response streams

[nothingmn]

Just opening the discussion to enable end-to-end support for gzip compression for the .NET Client for Azure Search.

Sample calling code:

        var response = await _indexClient.Documents.GetWithHttpMessagesAsync<T>(id, new List<string>() { "*" }, new SearchRequestOptions(), new Dictionary<string, List<string>>()
        {
            {"Accept-Encoding", new List<string>(){ "gzip", "deflate"}}
        }, cancellationToken);

Its ugly, but it does instruct the client to bring down the data gzip'd.

The problem is that the .NET Client always assumes the response will be a string response, as per:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/psSdkJson6/src/SDKs/Search/DataPlane/Microsoft.Azure.Search/GeneratedSearchService/DataSourcesOperations.cs#L296

The client needs to check for the Content-Encoding header, and if gzip, handle it appropriately.

Thanks.

The code you've pointed out is generated by the AutoRest tool. Any fix would need to originate there. I suggest opening an issue in the Azure/autorest repo.
