Simon,

"Is there an easy and safe way to detect whether the content is in
plain format, or gzip'ed?"

Yes. The servers' "Content-Encoding" response headers will tell you if it's
gzipped, or otherwise compressed/encoded.  Rather a basic question to ask,
when nearly every discussion of such compression describes those mechanisms,
no?
