 I'm not going to re-open this, but the behavior is still wrong in certain
 cases.

 Specifically, an error (or a double compressed payload) should be returned
 when the `.z` request contains an `Accept-Encoding` header that specifies
 anything other than `identity`/`deflate`.  This may be contrived and not
 worth worrying about, but the correct behavior (especially in the former
 case) isn't that hard.
