However, I suppose some mirrors might behave differently. The problem is that many browsers and other clients don't handle "Content-Encoding gzip" correctly. The curl program has a --compress option which requests gzip and handles the response, but even that fails to handle CE: gzip if requested using -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip".
