Description Nathan Gervais CLA 2010-05-28 14:38:57 EDT 
If we were to enable gzip compression on the server for API calls would this have any effect on MPC's ability to display the results returned?
Comment 1 Denis Roy CLA 2010-05-28 15:13:20 EDT 
Since gzipped content must be requested by the client, I think the more accurate question is: Does the MPC currently request gzip'd content?  If not, could it?
Comment 2 Carsten Reckord CLA 2016-06-07 13:39:43 EDT 
The new Apache HTTPClient based transport (bug 484513) introduced in MPC 1.5.0 for Neon allows us to do that. 

I'll look into it for Neon.1, where I intend to make that the only available transport. 

One interesting question might be if this is a problem with server load and server-side timeouts when no cached results exist, as in bug 486946.
