title: Easy HTTP requests with gzip/deflate compression
body: <p>I'm trying to figure out how the best way to easily send HTTP/HTTPS requests and to handle gzip/deflate compressed responses along with cookies.</p>
  
  <p>The best I found was <a href="https://github.com/mikeal/request" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/mikeal/request</a> which handles everything <em>except</em> compression. Is there a module or method that will do everything I ask?</p>
  
  <p>If not, can I combine request and zlib in some manner? I tried to combine zlib and <code>http.ServerRequest</code>, and it failed miserably.</p>
