Inflate all server responses

In the current version, v1.0.4, rest-client will only attempt to inflate the server response for HTTP 2XX (success-based) responses. This behavior is unexpected and counter-to the Rails convention of providing Error details in HTTP 422 (Unprocessable Entity) - or at least non-200 - responses.
The offending code can be found here, in today's source. As you can see, deflate is only executed for successful responses, whereas unsuccessful responses just get stuffed - while still deflated - into the response, rendering the exception.response.body generally unusable.
