The HTTP header "Content-Encoding" works both ways. The key difference is that for HTTP requests one must know beforehand if the server supports decompression. On the other hand, for HTTP responses the client tells the server that it *may* compress by setting the HTTP request header "Accept-Encoding", but the server does not have to (for example if the server does not support compression of responses).
