AFNetworking Enable GZIP

I am looking on the AFNetworking site that GZIP compression is supported " Gzip decompression from server responses is already built into AFNetworking, as NSURLConnection will automatically decompress responses with the Content-Encoding: gzip HTTP header. " - AFNetworking FAQ

How do I enable GZIP compression so I can pull data from the server compressed or is it already defaulting to this?

Thanks!

It seems you need to add a HTTP header :

[self setDefaultHeader:@"Accept-Encoding" value:@"gzip"]

To the AfNetworking HTTP client.

AFAIK NSURLConnection uses gzip decompresson by default and AFNetworking builds on the top of NSURLConnection. So, you shouldn't have to enable it.
