+ HttpRequest will automatically handle decompression of response bodies.
+ A "Accept-Encoding" header will be automatically added to each of your requests, unless one is already specified.
+ Any response with a "Content-Encoding: gzip" header will automatically be decompressed and delivered to you as a uncompressed bytes.
[b]Note:[/b] When performing HTTP requests from a project exported to HTML5, keep in mind the remote server may not allow requests from foreign origins due to [url=https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS]CORS[/url]. If you host the server in question, you should modify its backend to allow requests from foreign origins by adding the [code]Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *[/code] HTTP header.

As a workaround, you can pass request data as a query string in the URL. See [method String.http_escape] for an example.
