My upload bandwidth is limited. Could the upload command send by compressed data instead of json text format?

Gziping the output would yield a >90% compression ratio. Maybe its a good idea to always compress the files, even for local saved files?

FYI #146 was reverted as it wasn't working.

Related, but not limited to upload transfer encoding (and with potential lossiness): #515
