Today we’re happy to announce that we released two NuGet packages: Before we go into the details, let’s first take a look at why compression is particularly interesting for HttpClient. Compression and HttpClient We live in a world where we are permanently surrounded by devices, particularly smart phones. Apps that run on these devices are often not super useful in isolation; they require services to provide data and enhance their features. As a result many developers use the HttpClient class to access web resources such as REST services. Most service providers want to minimize the data that is bei...
