Whoa. This is next to unbelievable. Dan Fandrich posted a patch doing this,
and he beat you with ~11 hours! ;-)

What bug is that?

Sure, post it to the list!

I am very interested in getting this into the sources, but since I just a few
hours ago applied and commited Dan's version of the gzip Content-Encoding
decoder, I would prefer if you two could compare each others' implementations
and see if the currently committed one can be improved by yours, or if
possibly it is easier to revert Dan's, apply yours and then get pieces of
Dan's patch over ontop of yours... Whatever you think is best. You two are
the ones with most clues in this area here.

Getting a patch with this against 7.10.4 at this point would give me a head
ache trying to apply...

Thanks a lot for your efforts!
