Yes. I would add the following to the end of the commit message as a
new paragraph, please amend this for me:

--8<--
Only request gzip encoding from servers. Although deflate is
supported by libcurl, most servers have standardized on gzip
encoding for compression as that is what most browsers support.
Asking for deflate increases request sizes by a few bytes, but
is unlikely to ever be used by a server.
