There is a Etag for this document . What about using VCDIFF to
shrink the size? RFC3284. Ruby's http module doesn't support that
out of the box. To get that into http see RFC3229.
I can see evidence for discussion of RFC3229, but nothing from
Apache saying they finally decided to support it. One non-apache
source says 2.2 does this.
