That would appear to be a bug. Indeed, a regression since I did extensive
testing
of the proxy and fixed a number of far-more-arcane bugs some years ago[1].
It seems implausible, and your test with curl seems to contradict it.
It also looks like questionable behaviour from the backend: if it's doing
content negotiation (as implied by it reacting to Accept-Encoding) then
this would seem to apply:
" If no Accept-Encoding field is present in a request [...]
Note: If the request does not include an Accept-Encoding field,
and if the "identity" content-coding is unavailable, then
content-codings commonly understood by HTTP/1.0 clients (i.e.,
"gzip" and "compress") are preferred; [...]"
[1] https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43454 tracks a bunch of
them. Specifically those that weren't already fixed before I introduced it.
