Comment (by marfire):
Another solution to the gzip problem (that is, that we never match a
gzipped `ETag` because we modify it on the way out but not on the way in)
would be to have `GZipMiddleware` change the `ETag` to a weak `ETag`. That
would be simple, consistent with the specification, and well-precedented:
* nginx does this ([http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES as of version 1.7.3]) when
it gzips responses with an `ETag`
* [https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/17573 Rails] and
[https://github.com/rack/rack/issues/681 Rake] have recently switched to
using weak `ETags`
