How to use ContentEncoding?

See original GitHub issue

I setup client like here:

HttpClient {
    ContentEncoding()
}

But I still cannot read request (using call.content) with Accept-Encoding: gzip, I don’t see normal text, just some binary data. What do I need to do to read decoded text through ByteReadChannel?

Property content of HttpResponse is a raw response from the server, that is not modified by HttpResponsePipeline. To get modified content, please use the receive function. Example

        client.get<HttpStatement>(url).execute { response ->
            val content = response.receive<String>()
        }

I updated the doc here to make it more visible
