My website serves gzipped content. I verified with Firebug and YSlow. However, JMeter does not request the gzipped content. Therefore, it gets all uncompressed content. As a result, my test cases take much longer (6-10x longer) than they do in reality.

How can I make JMeter request gzipped content from a website?

FYI, I am using the latest stable build: JMeter 2.3.4 r785646.
