I want to know what is the difference when I add Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate in request header and when I only add Accept-Encoding: gzip.

Because in response header I could see Content-Encoding : gzip only every time and the compression percentage is also same.

And which one is the best practice to use.

    And see [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/9186091/1180620). Bottom line: just accept gzip. – Mark Adler Apr 12 '16 at 18:30
