Chef::HTTP::Decompressor#gzip_disabled?

gzip is disabled using the disable_gzip => true option in the
constructor. When gzip is disabled, no 'Accept-Encoding' header will be
set, and the response will not be decompressed, no matter what the
Content-Encoding header of the response is. The intended use case for
this is to work around situations where you request +file.tar.gz+, but
the server responds with a content type of tar and a content encoding of
gzip, tricking the client into decompressing the response so you end up
with a tar archive (no gzip) named file.tar.gz
