Disable GZIP compression for some browsers #62

@Robbert

Description

@Robbert

The DuneHD set-top box doesn't appear to be powerful enough to handle GZIP compression. We should check the user agent to disable GZIP for this browser.

It is not possible to prevent gzip and deflate using XMLHttpRequest, because Accept-Encoding is a forbidden header:
https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#forbidden-header-name

  • We should update the .htaccess to do this.
