Comment (by ahf):

 My initial patch was more or less like that, except that I toggled the
 `ZLIB_METHOD` in the branch where the `Accept-Encoding` header value was
 read.

 I added the flag to the `parse_accept_encoding_header()` in case we wanted
 to do ".zstd", ".gz", and ".lzma" at some point in the future, which
 should make that more trivial to do. I'm OK with either solutions though.
