Surely you mean Transfer-Encoding, not Content-Encoding... Content-Encoding
means the content is actually encoded, should be cached encoded, and should be
saved encoded if the user decides to save it. Transfer-Encoding means the
content is just encoded for the duration of the transfer and is decoded
immediately upor reception....
