For example:

http://rss.gmane.org/gmane.comp.search.xapian.devel

I checked conditional fetching (i.e. specifying "If-Modified-Since:")
and that definitely works.  Specifying "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate"
didn't turn on compression, but perhaps I got the runes wrong.  I'll
mention it to Lars, but anyway conditional fetching is much more
important for us since most of the time the file will be unchanged.
