feat(requester-node-http): add gzip compression for requests and response decompression#1603
Conversation
…onse decompression When the accept-encoding header includes gzip, request bodies are compressed with zlib.gzipSync() and a content-encoding: gzip header is added. Responses with content-encoding: gzip are decompressed via zlib.createGunzip(). Decompression errors resolve gracefully following the existing error handling pattern (never reject). Includes 8 comprehensive tests covering compression, decompression, error handling, multi-value headers, and full round-trip scenarios.

what's the default compression level of the lib? 4 is what we use in the backend it's the best balance between compression and CPU usage.
