Request compressed rpm transfer #146

Commits on Nov 20, 2018

  1. Request compressed rpm transfer 

    if server supports it, this can save 10-70% of transfer bandwidth
because (d)rpm metadata is uncompressed

E.g.
curl -L -v http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.0/oss/noarch/kernel-source-vanilla-4.12.14-lp150.12.22.1_lp150.12.25.1.noarch.drpm | gzip -c1 | wc -c
compresses 11157036 bytes to 4161087

On the downside, it adds 32 byte to every HTTP request header
which would add 256 microseconds on a 1MBit/s line.
