That last line above means that the web server is sending the file to us 
already gzipped - which is perfectly valid; we just decode it before we 
display the page.

When you use "Save As", however, we write the bits to disk before we 
decode them. Since this isn't terribly transparent to the user, I'll 
write up a feature request that we change this at some point and write 
the decoded file out to disk.
