Comment (by rmccue):

 From my work on [http://requests.ryanmccue.info/ Requests], I've found
 that the best way to opt for no encoding is to simply not include the
 header. Setting `Accept-Encoding: identity` can confuse some servers, and
 `q=0` is simply ignored by some servers. Admittedly, these are edge cases,
 but it's worth considering.

 >  Worth noting, that WP_HTTP claims to be a HTTP/1.0 client, so if it's
 sending 1.1 headers, we should change the version to 1.1.

 I believe it was set to this originally to avoid getting chunked responses
 before the dechunking was implemented. I'm not 100% certain on this
 though.
