This revisits fix provided regarding moby/moby#25122
According to https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#name-content-encoding
So, an image layer, served with media type
application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar+gzip
should not get any additionalContent-Encoding
header set until http server is misconfigured.Using a preventive
Accept-Encoding: identity
allows to avoid such a misconfiguration to have consequences on image transfert, but on the other hand prevents adoption of any other transport optimization, while the defaultnet/http
golang transport transparently managesgzip
and can at least compress json manifests.This would also make it possible to publish images with uncompressed layers referenced in manifests, and get those served with gzip or a more efficient compression (zstd, or any future algorithm) using encoding negotiation between client and registry.
