 ## About content encodings
 
  [HTTP/1.1][4] specifies that a client may request that a server encode its
- response. This is usually used to compress a response using one of a set of
- commonly available compression techniques. These schemes are 'deflate' (the
- zlib algorithm), 'gzip' and 'compress'. A client requests that the server
- perform an encoding by including an Accept-Encoding header in the request
- document. The value of the header should be one of the recognized tokens
- 'deflate', ... (there's a way to register new schemes/tokens, see sec 3.5 of
- the spec). A server MAY honor the client's encoding request. When a response
- is encoded, the server includes a Content-Encoding header in the
- response. The value of the Content-Encoding header indicates which scheme was
- used to encode the data.

- A client may tell a server that it can understand several different encoding
- schemes. In this case the server may choose any one of those and use it to
- encode the response (indicating which one using the Content-Encoding header).
  It's also possible for a client to attach priorities to different schemes so
  that the server knows which it prefers. See sec 14.3 of RFC 2616 for more
