Comment 1 for bug 173096

Our admins tell us that this is being done by the apache instance in front of the launchpadlibrarian.net web server. We want to keep this behaviour when serving build logs; it's extremely useful for Ubuntu developers to be able to view build logs in their web browser with zero effor.t

We should be able to disable the mod_mime magic (or whatever) in apache, and explicitly set or not the encoding in the launchpadlibrarian.net web server, as appropriate for the file being served. For files from the download service, we should never set Content-Encoding. For package build logs, we should set it.
