Summary: Client is receiving a gzipped page even though
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzatropine
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Site requests

I have a custom client that does not want to receive gzipped data. It specifies
so in the HTTP request header as such:
Accept-Encoding: identity;q=1.0, gzip;q=0, *;q=0
When requesting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzatropine, I still receive a
gzip encoded page. The client is using Apache's HttpClient java library.
Perhaps this is some kind of caching issue? Here is the full request and
response headers.
GET /wiki/Benzatropine HTTP/1.1

The same problem happens when gzip is simply omitted from the Accept-Encoding
as follows:
Accept-Encoding: identity
I specified gzip as q=0 in the above header in an attempt to be more explicit
about what encoding I wanted. This did not make a difference.
