gzip compression not taken into account?

[jfix]

Thanks Thomas for your reply.

I've redone the test by explicitly supplying the proxy, and indeed it
seems to remove the Accept-encoding header, as even with --compressed
option, the response is now uncompressed:

M:>curl --compressed -v -x wsg-proxy.example.org:80
http://example.org/resource/style/global.css
* About to connect() to proxy wsg-proxy.example.org port 80 (#0)

So, it looks like I have to talk to my company's IT people ... Thanks
for your help.
