Seems to me that it makes more sense to count the data with the
relevant encodings applied - i.e. the number of bytes being pushed over
the wire (or over the air)...
Which one does the http protocol give you when you have a Content-
Length header?
It gives the encoded length, since Content-Length is how many bytes you need to
read from the connection.
