Does .NET's HttpWebResponse uncompress automatically GZiped and Deflated responses?

.net, c#, deflate, gzip, httpwebrequest

Solution

I found the answer.

You can change the code to:

var request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(requestUri);
request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate;

And you will have automatic decompression. No need to change the rest of the code.

Problem

I am trying to do a request that accepts a compressed response ``` var request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(requestUri); request.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.AcceptEncoding, "gzip,deflate"); ``` I wonder if when I add the second line I will have to handle the decompression manually.
