Hmm, I got br when I dropped the header (see below). Either way, the server's behavior matches the spec, so there's something up with the client if they're seeing nonsense.

Request:

    GET https://jakearchibald.com/2023/against-self-closing-tags-in-html/
    Accept: text/html
Response:

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Date: Thu, 06 Jul 2023 17:01:20 GMT
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
    ...
    Content-Encoding: br


Huh.

  curl https://jakearchibald.com/2023/against-self-closing-tags-in-html/ -v > /dev/null
gave me:

  > GET /2023/against-self-closing-tags-in-html/ HTTP/2
  > Host: jakearchibald.com
  > user-agent: curl/7.88.1

(I also tried over http1.1, gave me the same result)


Ah, you know what, IntelliJ automatically adds an Accept-Encoding header if I leave it off, I didn't realize that until just now. Curl is a better test because it doesn't try to be clever.

There's still definitely something wrong with OP's client, because the server does exactly what it's supposed to.
