gzip compression

[HardWin13]

Thanks lot for nice library!
Does it support any compression mechanism?
As I know, influxdb supports gzip compression for http line protocol and it would be useful if you'll add it to post request processing.

Suppose that it helps to reduce the amount of memory for big data storage.

Yes, compression would be nice but is actual not supported.
I use this client to upload big bundles of data and see real heavy network traffic.

I managed to get the gzip compression running! It turned out to be very easy as you can support a custom HttpClient to the InfluxDbClient.

Do this:

HttpClientHandler handler = new HttpClientHandler();
handler.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate;

HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient(handler);
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept-Encoding", "gzip");

influxDbClient = new InfluxDbClient(url, user, password, InfluxDbVersion.v_1_3, httpClient: httpClient);
