Redirect binding requires compression

[yyy]

In Redirect binding, SAML Request should be compressed and then base64-encoded. But the current (1.5.0) code doesn't compress. That makes some IDPs (OpenAM) unhappy.

@yyy did you figure out a way to make this client work with OpenAM?

@krystianity Yes. See my workaround at #26 (comment)

Thanks @yyy - just to be clear, you are running this code on your SP side before redirecting to the OpenAM IdP right? There is now way in OpenAM to handle this? And are you experiencing any other issues when accepting SAML Responses from OpenAM with this client, in terms of compression?

Correct. I'm modifying the SAML Request before sending it to OpenAM. I haven't investigated whether this can be fixed on OpenAM site, but I doubt it. I haven't had any problems consuming the SAML response.
