he's probably speaking of web sites that try to increase content transfer to
the browser by zipping it. once the browser gets it, it unzips and presents
the content in normal fashion. this is commonly done with gz_out
functionality in php. however here, he wants to get the content rather than
give. in either case, the headers in the client side let the server know
whether or not zipped content is supported. therein lies his answer.

as far as i can tell.
