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.
