This was implemented for aggregations where a FileStorageModel is needed, but not in the WebFileSystem.

(So 20120101.dat.gz will be used to resolve $Y$m$d.dat, but data.dat.gz will not be used to resolve data.dat.)

Note that web servers can be configured to transmit their data gzipped, and this should work currently. I plan on supporting .gz outside of FileStorageModel, but I won't try to do that right now...

I just implemented this for single-file support on .gz files, see http://www-pw.physics.uiowa.edu/~jbf/autoplot/test140_1.txt, where vap+dat:http://www-pw.physics.uiowa.edu/~jbf/autoplot/data/examples/gz/JED_090_HIERSESP_CDR_2012001_V01.TAB?depend0=UTC&column=T0EXF00_COUNTS is loaded.
