--- Comment #5 from HONTVÁRI Levente <hontvari@flyordie.com> ---
By the way .gz is a valid MIME type. It is also a valid content encoding. 

Serving a document with Content-Type gzip is useful, it means that this is a
gzipped something, after download you should gunzip it. 

Serving a document with gzip Content-Encoding is also useful, it means that
your document was transferred in compressed state, but you get an uncompressed
document in your browser, ready for use. 

Serving a document with both Content-Encoding gzip and Content-Type gzip is
usually incorrect. In the best case this means that a gzipped file is
transferred by gzipping again. In the actual case it is just an invalid
response: a gzipped file transferred using content-encoding gzip is not a gzip
document on the browser side, becaue the brower alredy decompressed it!
