Gzip response from twitter API

[skyeagle]

It is for ruby 2.0.

I had the exception at the beggining of authentication:

NoMethodError (undefined method `encoding' for nil:NilClass):

The investigation revealed that issue with gziped response from twitter api and ruby 2.0 doesn't handle it by default.
This stackoverflow answer solves the issue.

I've run into this as well, but have other apps running on the same stack, Ruby 2.1 and Rails 4.0.3, that don't have this issue. I'll report back if I figure anything out.
