If its compressed on the fly, yes. If its stored compressed on the server, then Content-Encoding is used.
Ah, I hadn't considered Content-encoding here. I note that this header is defined by RFC2616 and registered only for use with HTTP (http://www.iana.org/assignments/message-headers/perm-headers.html), which suggests that it is defined only as part of an HTTP protocol transfer. #g (being rather language-lawyer-ish at this point?) -- Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
