title: Gzipped JSON file not decompressing
body: <p>I have large (30MB+) JSON files stored on my server as file.json. Using jQuery's getJSON("http://site/file.json") function it works just fine. But, as you'd probably think downloading 30MB worth of a JSON response takes a decent chuck of time.</p>
  
  <p>Instead I'm now storing them as Gzip'd files (file.json.gz) which cuts them down to just under 1MB! I'd like to do the same thing by using getJSON("http://site/file.json.gz"), but it looks like browsers are <strong>not</strong> decompressing the GZIP'd response, so parsing it doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>So, is there any way to get jQuery or the browser to decompress a static JSON file that's been compressed using GZIP such as file.json.gz?</p>
  
  <p>BTW: The saved files are compressed properly. If I manually decompress them I get the 30MB+ valid JSON file.</p>
