Description Gordon P. Hemsley 2013-08-27 16:09:24 UTC 
http://www.20min.ch/diashow/42267/pravda2-1332eceabdde503907ab4e52dbd37870.jpeg is a JPEG sent with 'Content-Type: text/plain' and 'Content-Encoding: gzip' headers.

The spec should clarify that sniffing should be done after the resource has been decoded.

This will fall out of Fetch/HTML integration.
