Description
The
AIOHTTPClientcurrently creates its session with aiohttp's defaults, which transparently decompressContent-Encodingresponses before they're buffered viaresp.read(). This change constructs the session withauto_decompress=Falseand a defaultAccept-Encoding: identityheader (reference), so the codec receives the response bytes as sent and servers are asked not to compress.Matches similar fixes in smithy-ruby and smithy-kotlin.
