-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Hello,

 i have the following scenario:

 Master page with 2 esi:includes, nearly the same as described in
 http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/ticket/352

 To ease the scenario, I would like to have the following functionality:

 Request the backend WITHOUT accept-encoding headers (could be removed
 using vcl).

 Without the accept-encoding header, the request for the backend is not
 compressed, esi:includes could be parsed.

 After that, varnish should be able to gzip/deflate the created page in
 order to send a compressed version to the user.

 For now, my only possibility is to send a non-compressed output to the
 user which is suboptimal.

 cheers

 xaos
