Are you sure?  Concatenating gzip files (.gz) is allowed: when
decompressed it results in the concatenation of the decompressed
parts.  Therefore gzip _files_ aren't self delimiting.

I don't know if gzip-as-referenced-by-HTTP allows that, but given that
gzip files can, it would be inadvisable for the network protocol to be
different and depend on that difference.
