Very good work !

I pushed your commit to branch 'gzip' at https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget for 
further review and CI testing (just had time to glance at it and made a few 
gzipped downloads :-))

IMO, the python test server should realize the offered encoding and compress 
the response body appropriately. This might be trivial to a python coder.

Anyways, if you have resources to help out at wget2 (https://gitlab.com/
gnuwget/wget), that would be awesome.

Will test your path(es) tomorrow and give you feedback.

With Best Regards, Tim
