If the upstream server can compress (gzip or deflate) the response, then em-http can transparently decode the data for you. To make this work, simply indicate to the upstream server that you will accept compressed data, and em-http will do the rest:
EventMachine.run do
http = EventMachine::HttpRequest.new('http://website.com/gzip').get :head => {"accept-encoding" => "gzip, compressed"}
http.callback {
http.response_header["CONTENT_ENCODING"] # => "gzip"
http.response # => uncompressed data
}
end
