OK, since real Content-Encoding support is probably not coming until GNOME
2.30, and we're continuing to trip over sites that use "Content-Encoding: gzip"
even though we send "Accept-Encoding: identity" (notably archive.org), maybe a
gross hack is in order... what we'd do is, check from gotHeadersCallback if the
response includes "Content-Encoding: gzip"; if so, disconnect from
content-sniffed and got-chunk and connect to got-body. Wait until the got-body
handler is called, unzip the body data all at once, call
soup_content_sniffer_sniff() if necessary, and then belatedly emit all the
webkit "signals". This would break incremental rendering of the data, but it
would only be getting used on broken sites anyway.
