Commit b81401c1 taught the post_rpc function to retry the http request after prompting for credentials. However, it did not handle two cases: 1. If we have a large request, we do not retry. That's OK, since we would have sent a probe (with retry) already. 2. If we are gzipping the request, we do not retry. That was considered OK, because the intended use was for push (e.g., listing refs is OK, but actually pushing objects is not), and we never gzip on push. This patch teaches post_rpc to retry even a gzipped request. This has two advantages: 1. It is possible to configure a "half-auth" state for fetching, where the set of refs and their sha1s are advertised, but one cannot actually fetch objects. This is not a recommended configuration, as it leaks some information about what is in the repository (e.g., an attacker can try brute-forcing possible content in your repository and checking whether it matches your branch sha1). However, it can be slightly more convenient, since a no-op fetch will not require a password at all. 2. It future-proofs us should we decide to ever gzip more requests.
