Overview
--------

"HTTP compression is a capability that can be built into web servers and web clients to improve transfer speed and bandwidth utilization.
HTTP data is compressed before it is sent from the server: compliant browsers will announce what methods are supported to the server before downloading the correct format; browsers that do not support compliant compression method will download uncompressed data. The most common compression schemes include gzip and Deflate; however, a full list of available schemes is maintained by the IANA." -- [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_compression)

```C++

using namespace std;
