Does the library Apache Commons HttpClient support Gzip? We wanted to use enable gzip compression on our Apache server to speed up the client/server communications (we have a php page that allows our Android application to sync files with the Server).

Apache HttpClient 4.1 supports content compression out of the box along with many other features that were previously considered out of scope.
