           Summary: bzip2 encoding not recognized when content encoding
                    field is "bzip2" (instead of "x-bzip2")

http response to reproduce the error

I just discovered that when the Server sets the the content-encoding header
field to "bzip2" instead of "x-bzip2", the validator fails to recognize the
Format.

An example to reproduce the Problem:
http://www.solderware.org/pages/index.de.html

The server software is Lighttpd Version 1.4.31, its config is not modified with
respect to compression headers, so I assume that either lighttpd serves an
icorrect header or the validator has a bug.

Attached is the example response (including the header). You can reproduce the
problem with netcat: "cat resp-incorrect | nc -l -p 8080" and then point the
validator to http://your.ip:8080/
