Is it possible to have the browser read gzipped data if Content-Encoding: gzip is not specified?

598 Views Asked by At

I'm playing around with fetching manually gzipped files from a static file server.

My problem is once I'm not including the Content-Encoding: gzip header in my response, the browser does not recognize content as being gzipped.

Question:
The header is there for a reason, but I'm still wondering whether there are any ways to have the browser (not Javascript) handle a gzipped resource?

Thanks for some pointers! Haven't found any...
