'deflate' is not GZIP, it's just PART of GZIP.
Ergo... bad name choice IMHO.

Browser sends...
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
They are not actually the 'exact same thing'.

If you actually send 'pure deflate' to a modern browser
it will blow up even though it says it 'accepts' it.

Not to worry... doesn't matter what you call it as
long as it sends a GZIP header and it works.
