That is easy to test and should hopefully work. The speed may be
slower or faster, it depends on the bandwidth and the latency to
the real server. Probably hard to say if it will be faster or slower.

Adding a NoZipFilter that checks all the accept-encoding headers
and removes gzip and compress values is probably almost trivial to
write. Maybe I will add that in a day or two...

Adding unzip+filtering+zipping is also easy, I will try to add that
later this week, rabbit is a spare time project so some development
is slow.

If any of you have patches available and care to share, then please do.
