## Class DeflateDecompressingEntity

      public class DeflateDecompressingEntity
      extends DecompressingEntity

  `HttpEntityWrapper` responsible for handling deflate Content Coded responses. In RFC2616 terms, `deflate` means a `zlib` stream as defined in RFC1950. Some server implementations have misinterpreted RFC2616 to mean that a `deflate` stream as defined in RFC1951 should be used (or maybe they did that since that's how IE behaves?). It's confusing that `deflate` in HTTP 1.1 means `zlib` streams rather than `deflate` streams. We handle both types in here, since that's what is seen on the internet. Moral - prefer `gzip`!

    4.1
