Rafael, the gzip compression *alone* indeed does not make the tomcat serve
it compressed
* tomcat 8.0 allows [configuring the default
servlet](https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/default-servlet.html) so that
it serves compressed if there is a .gz file
* Since we had tomcat6 so far, there is a special servlet registered to do
this see client/WEB-INF/web.xml
* jetty (developer mode) by default uses the .gz compression it must be
explicitly turned off if you do not want it
