@ -54,9 +54,10 @@ Servers might respond with Content-Encoding even without getting a
Accept-Encoding: in the request. Servers might respond with a different
Content-Encoding than what was asked for in the request.
The Content-Length: servers send for a compressed response is supposed to be
for the compressed content but sending the size for the non-compressed version
of the resource is a very common mistake.
The Content-Length: servers send for a compressed response is supposed to
indicate the length of the compressed content so when auto decoding is enabled
it may not match the sum of bytes reported by the write callbacks (although,
sending the length of the non-compressed content is a common server mistake).
