Or some other reason. The litmus test I'd use for content vs transfer encoding is what should happen when the user saves the data. If compressed data should be saved, then content encoding is indicated; if uncompressed data should be saved, then transfer encoding should be used. > OK we will clarify for the case where the server compresses on the fly.
