Heh. How did "Content-Encoding" slide in? It was "Accept-Encoding" in the 
previous gzip/caching URL. Content-Encoding makes sense as the server may or 
may not return (or vary) "Content-Encoding: gzip". I'm using 
"Content-Encoding" in development and production and it works.

The mod_gzip module for Apache uses "Accept-Encoding" (Sept 2002)
http://lists.over.net/pipermail/mod_gzip/2002-September/006474.html.

As I have cleared my squid and IE caches and everthing works great with 
"Content-Encoding" - and this makes sense to me - I would recommend this 
value be used.

Would anyone have any reason why mod_gzip would work differently?
Any reason why using "Content-Encoding" is not correct?

Thanks.
