This is actually ambiguous, since the near-total lack of server and UA 
support for "Transfer-Encoding: gzip" means that "Content-Encoding: 
gzip" is used to mean both transfer and content encoding (well, 
sometimes it also just means "my server is misconfigured Apache", but I 
assume UAs already deal with this, by and large).
