Hi Everyone,
Someone has proposed a patch to vimgolf.el which replaces the use of
url.el with requests.el. The reason is that url.el doesn't decompress
gzipped content automatically while requests.el does.
I'm assuming given that requests.el shells out to curl to get the job
done that Emacs has no way of natively gunzipping content, but I'd
love to be told that I'm wrong. I'd like Vimgolf to entirely rely on
emacs builtins so that it works seamlessly for our Windows friends.

Emacs has recently acquired a way of decompressing stuff internally.
See the function zlib-decompress-region.

Yes. And url.el uses it to decompress content automatically in Emacs
24.4, I think.
