title: Can I disable GZIP on Google App Engine?
body: <p>I'm serving up tiny little chunks of minimized javascript through Google App Engine, and I think the GZIP-unGZIP process is slowing me down unnecessarily.  (To clarify, I'm sending them quickly to many different websites who request them and I've optimized most of the other parts of the process).</p>
  
  <p>For reference the files are so small that the GZIP savings can be less then the "Content-Encoding: gzip" header.</p>
  
  <p>However, from the <a href="http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/runtime.html#Responses" rel="noreferrer">documentation</a></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>If the client sends HTTP headers with the request indicating that the client can accept compressed (gzipped) content, App Engine compresses the <strong>response data automatically</strong> and attaches the appropriate response headers. </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Is there a setting in app.yaml or somewhere that I can disable GZIP-ing?  It must be possible since some files are served unzipped.</p>
