It seems like Heroku's nginx may be set to issue a gzipped response only for HTTP/1.1 requests. In my quick tests, a 1.0 request with an "Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip" header gets an uncompressed response, but the same request under 1.1 gets gzipped content.
Unfortunately, Amazon CloudFront, which otherwise functions nicely as an origin-pull CDN, always issues 1.0 requests, which may explain why it won't seem to serve gzipped content for my Heroku app. Has anyone else seen the same results?
