Automatically Handle Server-side Compression

[kennethreitz]

Reproducible example:

import zlib
import requests

r = requests.get('http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.1/users/495995/top-answer-tags')

zlib.decompress(r.content, 16+zlib.MAX_WBITS)

This should already be decompressed because of the response header:

>>> r.headers['content-encoding']
'gip'
