I assume all details are in RFC1951 "DEFLATE Compressed Data Format
Specification". Available all over, but here's the one on the curl site:

         http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/rfc1951.txt

I recall someone once making a patch that would make libcurl try with and
without a header or something, but I couldn't find it now and I know it was
never applied because it was done against an older incarnation of libcurl's
deflate code... (perhaps it had nothing to do with this and I'm just
rambling!)
