+Response payload get compressed based on *content_encoding* parameter. 
+By default `ContentEncoding::Auto` is used. If `ContentEncoding::Auto` is selected
+then compression depends on request's `Accept-Encoding` header. 
+`ContentEncoding::Identity` could be used to disable compression.
+If other content encoding is selected the compression is enforced for this codec. For example,
