A web server should not be setting "Content-encoding: gzip" on a .tar.gz file. I agree that http-enumerator is correctly following the spec by decompressing. If you decide to implement a workaround for this, the only reasonable thing I can think of is adding a "ignoreContentEncoding" knob the user can twiddle to violate spec.
