[Interest] QML XmlHttpRequest content-encoding

[Jason H]

Does anyone know if/how I can trigger an AJAX request, originating from QML, to be gzip encoded? I am sending a large amount of compressible text (~128kb of base64 data) a command line gzip was able to save 25%.
Since I do this for about 5MB of data at a time, it would be wonderful to save that extra 1MB.

I'm hoping I can just set a header and Qt will transparently encode it?
