Description

Currently the Content-Type for compressed files overrides the original Content-Type.

So
Content-Type: text/plain

becomes
Content-Type: application/gzip

We should instead consider keeping

Content-Type: text/plain
and adding
Content-Encoding: gzip

This will paly nice with Cloud Storage automatic transcoding:
