----------------------------------------
Good catch.
Want to provide a patch? Should be very very simple to do it.
> Erroneous "identity" Content-Coding supplied to Content-Encoding header for

> Key: COUCHDB-1128
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1128
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 1.0.2
> Environment: CouchOne
> Reporter: Andrew Gleave
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: http
> Original Estimate: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.5h

> According to the HTTP / 1.1 spec, the "identity" content-coding is to be used
> only in the Accept- Encoding header, and should not be used in the
> Content-Encoding header. Currently, any uncompressed attachment which is
> retrieved from CouchDB will have Content-Encoding:identity specified in its
> response header.
> http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.5
> All browsers and most proxies seem to ignore the header and function
> correctly. However, Microsoft's ISA 2006 proxy seems to reject the entire
> request, meaning all attachments are inaccessible from behind the proxy.
