Yes, you are probably right.  I just didn't think anyone would
actually configure a proxy to deliver the un-gzipped result to the
client.  That sounds like a way to break all kinds of things!

I'll ask around here to see if this is the case.

I don't have direct control over the server where the repo is, but I
might be able to convince the admins that it's a bad idea to put
Content-Encoding into reponses.
