Description
Andreas Sewe
On the web server, even if we specify gzip in the headers, we don't get the gzipped payload. We need to configure mod_deflate for text/rss $ wget -S --header="Accept-encoding:gzip,deflate" https://www.eclipse.org/community/news/2005newsarchive.rss Connecting to www.eclipse.org (www.eclipse.org)|198.41.30.198|:443... connected.

(But see Bug 521736 why text/rss may not be the best Content-Type for RSS feeds.) I've created a path to add text/rss and application/rss+xml. FYI, I can confirm (checked using Wireshark) that the News plug-in currently part of the Oxygen.1 RC2 Java EPP package successfully fetches the compressed feed.
