Couldn’t that be special-cased? Check if a stream advertised as “deflate”
starts with 1F 08, handle it as gzip instead. Maybe warn the user, but
that warning would be at least as annoying as the google invalid cookies…

I could try to dig out the site unless you have it handy, then hack some
code to do that, if you desire.
