Httpclient getContent does not support Content-Encoding: gzip.

If you ask a website "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate, br" it will usually return it as Content-Encoding: gzip. httpclient and just gives you the zipped files instead. I would have expected it to unzip the file and return it like almost every other tool does.

Happy to accept PRs. I'm pretty sure gzip is pretty tough though, you would need to depend on a C library or implement it in Nim natively.

I am working on a pure Nim implementation of deflate, gzip, zlib etc over here https://github.com/guzba/zippy (example httpclient gzip uncompress: https://github.com/guzba/zippy/blob/master/examples/http_client.nim)

I have written a HTTP library to solve this problem: https://github.com/treeform/puppy
