Subject: wish: add automatic gzip support to mirror() (and elsewhere)
It would be nice if mirror() supported gzip encoding automatically, if the server supports it, and the libraries are available locally. URI::Fetch does this. Or perhaps it makes sense to support this at even lower level, in the request itself. Mark
The $response->decoded_content will automatically uncompress. It feels wrong for me if mirror() should create a different file from the one we download.
