I recently found that Media type application/octet-stream couldn't be gziped due uncompressible flag. What cause of such behavior? I didn't find any info in rfc. Thanks

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by tracing how application/octet-stream is classified for gzip compression and compare that behavior with the HTTP media-type rules; done should explain the uncompressible flag and establish whether the behavior should change.
