Yes, we are doing the "right thing". We should check how Microsoft Edge and IE handle a response with "Content-Encoding: gzip" and "Content-Type: application/octet-stream". Do they treat it as "Content-Encoding: gzip" and "Content-Type: text/plain"? If WebKit is the only browser engine that does not auto decompress <http://s3.amazonaws.com/mozilla-games/ZenGarden/EpicZenGarden.data.gz> then we may want to consider adding a quirk either in WebKit or CFNetwork.
