Bug in supporting Quality zero (negate) parameter in Accept-Encoding

[Radek Burkat]

Spent the last day chasing down a corner case with Nginx and Level3
CDN.  It turns out that some requests that they send have the
following Accept-Encoding header.

"Accept-Encoding: compress, gzip;q=0"

Based on this RFC
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html  this is a
valid way to say "NO gzip encoding"
Nginx ignores this and actually sends a gziped version.   This causes
the CDN to error, as defined by the RFC.

Example

This should NOT return compressed data, as defined by the RFC

curl -I http://cs.pinkbike.org/127/sprt/c/top.css -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip;q=0"

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.0.0
Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2011 17:06:14 GMT
Content-Type: text/css
Last-Modified: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 20:13:20 GMT
Connection: close
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Expires: Thu, 31 Dec 2037 23:55:55 GMT
Cache-Control: max-age=315360000

Content-Encoding: gzip


Is there a parameter/idea that I am missing or is this a bug?
