Potential Bug: Gzipping preventing HTTP range requests

[Ensiferous]

Hi!

A question was posed in IRC yesterday about Range requests not being
honoured when using gzipping.
After testing it I've confirmed that there appears to be a problem.

I've put a test file online you can test against:
http://216.218.189.55/range.txt

The following curl runs were used to test:
curl -r 0-5 http://216.218.189.55/range.txt <- gives 6 bytes
curl -r 0-5 --compressed http://216.218.189.55/range.txt <- gives full
file

I've pasted the results of debug logging here:

Thanks for your attention,
Martin Fjordvald
