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?
