Comment 4 for bug 173096

Brad: I don't think that's the issue for Plone files. Going through the apache frontend, I see:

    $ telnet launchpadlibrarian.net 80
    Trying 91.189.90.235...
    Connected to launchpadlibrarian.net.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    HEAD /10596639/Plone-3.0.3.tar.gz HTTP/1.1
    Host: launchpadlibrarian.net
    Accept-Encoding: gzip
    Connection: close

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK

    Connection closed by foreign host.

If I skip the apache front end and talk directly to the librarian, I get the following response (using an identical request):

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Content-length: 12425371
    Server: TwistedWeb/2.4.0

We are sending a bogus content-type (something that should be fixed), but that is not the cause of the Content-Encoding header.
