Comment (by arma):

 FYI, my wget didn't send any accept-encoding header. Neither did
 Sebastian's. Maybe Yawning's did? You can tell it to *add* an accept-
 encoding header, but then what do you expect.

 I think the issue here is more that there are two ways to indicate you
 want compression -- adding a .z to the url, and saying so in the accept-
 encoding header -- and we should build the two by two decision matrix and
 do the smart thing for all four cases.
