Could do that, or tar (which would work for non-DAT files, if

Wont most servers (and clients) automatically use gzip or similar if
they both support it?

If the client supports it, yes.  But unless LDView specifically says it
does, the server will assume it can't.

I don't do this now, but I think I can do so fairly easily.  Just to check, if I
add the following header to my request, ldraw.org will gzip automatically?

Accept-Encoding: gzip

If I do that, do I need to add another accepted encoding to let the server know
that I'll also accept plain-text, or is that assumed?
