Yeah, on the fly gzipping would be cool to have as an option at save

actually, an HTTP PUT would be more straight forward for this kind of 
thing since centrallix supports PUTs.  we san use the HttpURLConnection

nah, those are two different functions of the HTTP protocol (GET and 
POST).  i suggest using PUT instead.  here's a list of the HTTP RFCs
