Hi,

I was looking at the content coding IANA registry 
(<http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-parameters>) and decided to see 
what pack200-gzip:

> pack200-gzip   Network Transfer Format for Java Archives           [JSR200]

is about.

 From what I understand this is a format similar to ZIP/Jar, in which 
you have a directory structure with named entries. How exactly is this 
supposed to work as HTTP Content Coding then?

Has anybody seen this in the wild? Is anybody aware of implementations?

Best regards, Julian
