Description-en: Perl module to fetch webpages with gzip-compression
The WWW::Mechanize::GZip module tries to fetch a URL by requesting
gzip-compression from the webserver.
.
If the response contains a header with 'Content-Encoding: gzip', it
decompresses the response in order to get the original (uncompressed)
content.
.
This module will help to reduce bandwith fetching webpages, if supported
by the webeserver. If the webserver does not support gzip-compression,
no compression will be used.
.
This modules is a direct subclass of WWW::Mechanize and will therefore
support any methods provided by WWW::Mechanize.
.
The decompression is handled by Compress::Zlib::memGunzip.
