I already did open an issue and write a patch :) There’s someone on that issue saying that flipping that without a way to flip it back would break their application. You're right, I had forgotten about that :-) I'd be surprised if disabling compression could altogether break an application. It may make it less efficient, though, if it relied on TLS to compress data for it (which doesn't sound like a good thing to rely on, anyway). Regards Antoine.

I've looked at the issue and can't find any such comment. The closest is from http://bugs.python.org/issue20994#msg214246 "Also some users will absolutely want to manually re-enable compression, please don't disable it entirely." Chinese whispers? :)
