Not really. The main problem is that there is more than 2
clients, and many of them will use different Accept-Encoding
headers, e.g.:
gzip,deflate
gzip, deflate
gzip,deflate,sdch
gzip
deflate, gzip
identity
gzip,deflate,lzma,sdch
gzip;q=1.0,deflate;q=0.6,identity;q=0.3
gzip;q=1.0, deflate;q=0.8, chunked;q=0.6, identity;q=0.4, *;q=0
deflate
identity,gzip,deflate
gzip, deflate, peerdist
gzip, deflate, identity
gzip, x-gzip
gzip, deflate, compress
As a result, there will be many copies of compressed and
uncompressed responses in the cache.
