Historically you may be right, but in current HTTP it is a request for the

How's that? Debian Lighttpd for example has compress.filetype = ("text/plain", "text/html", "application/x-javascript", "text/css") So it won't compress a file just because you send a accept encoding header.

I meant that "request" as in a desire, a wish.
