Gzhttp not supported uncompress (Content-Encoding) request body.
Gzhttp working only response body: https://github.com/klauspost/compress/blob/v1.17.9/gzhttp/compress.go#L467

@mirecl Could you elaborate a bit more? Preferably with an example.

Note that you should not add Accept-Encoding if you want this package to decompress. If you add the accept upstream, it is assumed that upstream will decompress. code.

@klauspost, I send http-request with gzip body and set header Content-Encoding: gzip, for example:

cat data.json | gzip | curl -v -i --data-binary @- -H "Content-Encoding: gzip" http://...

But https://github.com/klauspost/compress/gzhttp don`t decompress request body automatically(
I think that this functionality will be useful and I’m ready implement a PR!

@mirecl The package only does Response compression and decompression. Moving this to a feature request (pun not intended ;)

[mirecl]

@klauspost create for example implement this feature: #1002

[mirecl]

@klauspost, when to expect a new release with this feature?

[klauspost]

It does seem like there is a bunch of smaller things waiting for release. I will push one now.

(but you can always use the latest commit hash in your go.mod ie github.com/klauspost/compress v1.17.9 -> github.com/klauspost/compress 2a46d6bf5d0fb5d9f44b815438ce43470706f73f + go mod tidy will work just fine)
