If any of you want to sit down and solve these issues, it might be
worth a thought to think about Content Negotiation first. It's a bit
of a paradox that web servers that decide to actually implement
On-The-Fly-Compression are out of the business wrt to cache servers,
because they have to set the Vary header. So as long as Squid
discriminates servers sending compressed HTML based on the
Accept-Encoding header, I wouldn't encourage to program an
On-The-Fly-Compressing Squid.
