Is this still relevant?

Fair enough, in that case I'll change it to the following request:
Add support for compressed posted data.
Background: some asp scripts make the assumption that this is a normal thing to support; I'm
not sure whether any browser actually supports this feature, but it seems to be a valid request.

This is not a bug, why would you assume that is *supposed* to work? You can create a feature request
though.

Description:
------------
When gzip encoded input is used to post form data, the variables are lost.
The example code expects a form.php which simply does a print_r() on $_POST.
It's assumed that the zlib functionality is available.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo file_get_contents(
'http://www.example.com/form.php',false,
stream_context_create(array(
'http'=>array(
'method'=>'POST',
'header'=>"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\nContent-Encoding:
gzip",
'content'=>gzencode('data=somebigvalue'),
)
))
);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
A print_r() output of an array where the key 'data' is set to 'somebigvalue'
Actual result:
--------------
A print_r() of an empty array.
