Please use gzip/gunzip when fetching webpages #22
Description
More often than not I try recursively downloading a webpage using wget, only to have it download a single index.html.gz then stop. Obviously wget can't read gzipped files so it fails to find any links for recursive downloading... I ended up using this wget fork that was last updated 10 years ago and it works fine, however I find it odd that such a basic feature never made it into mainline wget.
Please add a feature for automatically detecting and uncompressing gzipped webpages before crawling them.
