Description
My server php does not have gzip inflation capabilities (zlib extension is not enabled). Please provide a way to remove gzip from the Accept-Encoding header. Right now, it's added by default regardless of the header settings.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by locating where the default Accept-Encoding header is added and how explicit header settings are handled, then check behavior when the PHP zlib extension is unavailable. Done means callers can remove gzip from the generated header without requiring zlib inflation support.
