def encode_deflate(data)
  # The deflate options were borrowed from Rack and Mongrel1.
  Zlib::Deflate.deflate(data, *[Zlib::DEFAULT_COMPRESSION,
                                # drop the zlib header which causes both Safari and IE to choke
                                -Zlib::MAX_WBITS,
                                Zlib::DEF_MEM_LEVEL,
                                Zlib::DEFAULT_STRATEGY
                               ])

#encode_gzip(data) ⇒ Object

Note:

Because of the header/checksum requirements, gzip cannot be used on streamed responses.

The ‘gzip’ encoding, which uses GNU Zip (via libz).
