Check the Content-Encoding header to see what kind of compression was used by the server. Note that the server will only use compression if the browser has sent an Accept-Encoding header, and the server supports at least one of the encodings in this list.

For example, if the browser supplies Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate and the server supports gzip encoding, it will reply with the Content-Encoding: gzip header and a gzip-compressed entity.
