A builder-like pattern is used to construct an instance of `HttpResponse`.
`HttpResponse` provides several methods that return a `HttpResponseBuilder` instance,

Response payload is compressed based on the *content_encoding* parameter.
By default `ContentEncoding::Auto` is used. If `ContentEncoding::Auto` is selected,
then compression depends on the request's `Accept-Encoding` header.
`ContentEncoding::Identity` can be used to disable compression.
