[Bug classpath/25803] New: HttpUrlConnection reports gzip content on uncompressed data

[green at redhat dot com]

HttpUrlConnection.getInputStream() conveniently unzips gzip'd content with
GZIPInpuStream for us automatically.  Unfortunately, getContentType() still
returns "gzip".  This confuses Azureus, which really expects uncompressed data
if it's told it has gzip content. 

Sun's implementation of getContentType() returns null if it's returning an
uncompressed gzip stream.  

I used this...

...with this URL of gzip'd content..

..to see what was going on.
