how exactly would I add
Content-Encoding: gzip
to
print "Content-type: image/svg+xml\n\n"
?

I'm serving SVG:
spec: Appendix G: Conformance Criteria:
"SVG implementations which support the HTTP protocol must correctly 
support gzip-encoded SVG data streams according to the HTTP 1.1 
specification [RFC2616]; thus, the client must specify "Accept-Encoding: 
gzip" [HTTP-ACCEPT-ENCODING] on its request-header field and then 
decompress any gzip-encoded data streams that are downloaded from the 
server"
;)
