title: Odata compression - Is there ANY support? (WCF Data Services 5.0 for WinRT)
body: <p>Context:Currently using WCF Data Services 5.0 with Odata for a Windows 8 Store application.</p>
  
  <p>Have been trying to compress the OData coming over the wire from my service today and running into plenty of issues surrounding support.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>binary serialization isn't supported.</p></li>
  <li><p>json isn't supported (library throws 'application/json' is currently not supported in Content-Type header)</p></li>
  <li><p>json lite isn't released yet</p></li>
  <li><p>adding gzip requests in the http response works (server returns compressed) - but client side lib doesn't seem to want to deserialize it. (xml parsing exceptions)</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>My final attempt today was to try and get a hold of the http response, and to manually deserialize the stream myself (GZipStream isn't available but i know there are 3rd party alternatives) - but I couldn't find ANY <strong>Microsoft.Data.Services.Client.WindowsStore</strong> events/overrides that would expose the stream to me.</p>
  
  <p>I wanted to implement OData to leverage the performance and efficiency gains over standard WCF Web services - but with no way to compress the stream over the wire i don't get any.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any experience with this, or advice of how to approach?</p>
