[issue30576] http.server should support HTTP compression (gzip)

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

For existing “.gz” files, I wasn’t suggesting to compress them a second time, just for the server report that they are already compressed, like how it reports the Content-Type value based on the file name. Including Content-Encoding would help browsers display pages like <http://www.yoyodesign.org/outils/ngzip/index.en.html.gz>.
