HOTFIX 2015.2 - API: Compression (gzip/deflate) now supported for incoming request bodies (on POST and PUT requests)

API: Compression (gzip/deflate) now supported for incoming request bodies (on POST and PUT requests) as well as outgoing responses. Uses the Content-Encoding HTTP header to determine which way to decompress the data.

So now we support compression in both directions. To review:

Accept-Encoding: tells our server what the client supports and how we should compress what we send back Content-Encoding: tells our server how the incoming request was compressed (POST and PUT only)
Neither of these are mandatory for using the API, but they do significantly reduce the size of payloads.
