There's rl_returnz (which I really whish had implemented the command as
ns_returnz for consistency sake).

Jeff Davis modified rl_returnz so it treats encoding correctly and has
been using it on his site. It's available at http://xarg.net/code
You can test it in the following way:

telnet xarg.net 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: xarg.net
Accept-Encoding: gzip, compress


If you get a bunch of binary output, that's gzipped content.

I installed his modified version, but haven't gotten gzipped output, not
sure why.
