  Identity means uncompressed? The RFC doesn't seem to
explain that. I wonder if it might work to put something
like "applepie", thus causing the server to conclude that
it doesn't offer anything you can use.

  If you don't get it, I can give you VB6 code for GZip.
I also have components, sjHTTP and jsHTTP2, to deal
with it.
   www.jsware.net/scripts.php5

  Or you might be able to find other options online.
It's common and fairly simple encoding.
