Comment (by dd32):

 Bingo! It's the Accept-Encoding header..

 Currently, for ALL requests we send this:
 {{{
 Accept-Encoding: deflate;q=1.0, compress;q=0.5, gzip;q=0.5
 }}}

 We should not send compression encodings when saving to file, and we
 should add identity to the list of accepted encodings in all cases.

 Do we need to specifically disable the compression methods, or just not
 mention them in the header? I have a feeling the few broken
 servers/proxies out there will ignore the header anyway..
