As far as I know.

I updated the map api to respond with gzip encoding if the request
advertises it as acceptable. commons-httpclient doesn't, annoyingly, so
the applet doesn't benefit.

Do you have any repeatable behaviour? Does libcurl accept gzip-encoding?
I know curl itself doesn't do it. At least by default anyway, I tried
it.

have fun,
