So, the "gzip enabled response" includes cases with non-gzip content as:
- no "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate"
- matches gzip_disabled
and therefore "Vary: Accept-Encoding" will always be added even though
the response isn't compressed?

Or in other words, does "gzip on; gzip_vary on" means "add 'Vary:
Accept-Encoding' header on any responses matching gzip_types
regardless whether the response actually compressed or not"?
