If the webserver does not support gzip-compression, no decompression will be made. .PP This modules is a direct subclass of WWW::Mechanize and will therefore support any methods provided by WWW::Mechanize. .PP The decompression is handled by Compress::Zlib::memGunzip. .SS "\s-1METHODS\s0" .IX Subsection "METHODS" .IP "prepare_request" 2 .IX Item "prepare_request" Adds 'Accept\-Encoding' => 'gzip' to outgoing HTTP-headers before sending. .IP "send_request" 2 .IX Item "send_request" Unzips response-body if 'content\-encoding' is 'gzip' and corrects 'content\-length' to unzipped content-length. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" WWW::Mechanize .PP Compress::Zlib .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" Peter Giessner \f(CW\*(C`cardb@planet\-elektronik.de\*(C'\fR .SH "LICENCE AND COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "LICENCE AND COPYRIGHT" Copyright (c) 2007, Peter Giessner \f(CW\*(C`cardb@planet\-elektronik.de\*(C'\fR.
