By default, when you make a request to URL, the response is not compressed.
默认情况下，当你在URL创建一个request 请求，response响应是不压缩的。
比如，代码：
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.Reader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;public class HttpConnect {public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {URL url = new URL("http://www.rgagnon.com/howto.html");HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();// con.setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding", "gzip");System.out.println("Length : " + con.getContentLength());Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream());while (true) {int ch = reader.read();if (ch==-1) {break;}System.out.print((char)ch);}}
}From the response, we see that the length is 21740 bytes.
从响应内容，我们看到长度是21740字节。
Length : 21740

...By setting the Request Header "Accept" to "gzip", we are telling to the server that we want the response to be compressed if possible with the GZIP compression scheme. If it's not supported by the server then the response will be sent as plain text.
通过设置request header 的属性“Accept” 为“gzip”，我们告诉服务器在可能Gzip压缩的情况下我们想要服务器压缩响应。如果服务器不支持压缩应当以纯文本发送响应。
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.Reader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;public class HttpConnect {public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {URL url = new URL("http://www.rgagnon.com/howto.html");HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();con.setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding", "gzip");System.out.println("Length : " + con.getContentLength());Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream());while (true) {int ch = reader.read();if (ch==-1) {break;}System.out.print((char)ch);}}
}Now the response length is 4865 but the content is not readable because we need to uncompress it!
现在响应长度是4865，但是内容不可读因为我们需要jie压缩！
