If its compressed on the fly, yes. If its stored compressed on the server,
then Content-Encoding is used.
Ah, I hadn't considered Content-encoding here.
I note that this header is defined by RFC2616 and registered only for use with
HTTP (http://www.iana.org/assignments/message-headers/perm-headers.html), which
suggests that it is defined only as part of an HTTP protocol transfer.
