+Subject: Use Accept-Encoding: identity together with decode_content=False
+
+
+This should fix both the issues:
+
+ - gzips decompressed: https://pagure.io/rpmdevtools/issue/72
+ - texts compressed: https://pagure.io/rpmdevtools/issue/76
+
+    $ file tor-0.4.5.4-rc.tar.gz tor-0.4.5.4-rc.tar.gz.asc xrootd-5.0.3.tar.gz
+    tor-0.4.5.4-rc.tar.gz:     gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix, original size modulo 2^32 35962880
+    tor-0.4.5.4-rc.tar.gz.asc: PGP signature Signature (old)
+    xrootd-5.0.3.tar.gz:       gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix, original size modulo 2^32 981462405
