 Some live streaming servres (such as Youtube live feeds) can generate
 multi-megabyte .m3u8 files when uncompressed and on long feeds. Accepting
 gzip'd playlist files can both save bandwidth and dramatically improve
 playback performance.

 I've tested this by just using "Accept-Encoding: gzip" but I don't think
 that would be an acceptable solution.
