Used [fiddler][1] to double-check<sup>*</sup> this.

Everything I get back from the API is definitely gzip compressed.

For that matter, you can't get a response that isn't compressed; you can only choose between gzip & deflate.  Default is gzip.

The API always sets the `Content-Encoding` response header, so you might be the victim of your library decompressing the response for you.

<sub>*Triple-checked: I ran our test cases without setting `Accept-Encoding` but leaving the gzip decompression code in.</sub>
