Line Protocol Compression

Thanks, Noah.

Yeah I figured that GoLang’s HTTP Library natively supports GZip compression
(using example at support gzip for http request to improve performance by jiafu1115 · Pull Request #241 · influxdata/influxdb-java · GitHub)

I think it would still be worth mentioning in the documentation,
as not many people are familiar with Go HTTP features,
and other wise there is an impression that InfluxDB doesn’t support compression.

.NET Standard Library supports compression as well and this works amazingly!
If somebody is interested, here is code snipet:

using (var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, _uploadAddress))
{
	request.Headers.Add("Keep-Alive", "true");

	byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sb.ToString());
	using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
	{
		// Compressing bytes into MemoryStream's buffer.
		using (var gZipStream = new GZipStream(memoryStream, _config.CompressionLevel, true))
		{
			gZipStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
		}
		memoryStream.Position = 0;

		using (request.Content = new StreamContent(memoryStream))
		{
			request.Content.Headers.Add("Content-Encoding", "gzip");
			request.Content.Headers.ContentLength = memoryStream.Length;
			using (HttpResponseMessage response = await _client.SendAsync(request, _token))
			{
				await ThroughContentsOnError(response);
			}
		}
	}
}
