We use Accept-Encoding and a new header field to signal to the origin
server that the client is willing to do this.  The proxy is explicitly
configured and this capability could be part of that configuration,
but we could do something better than that.  Trial and error might
work, but again, a better plan would be to have explicit signaling.
Off the cuff, /.well-known/ might work.
