That same like run again new workunits with Accept header ;) If i good
count, this 2 minutes take now around 1 month ;) Unfortunately Jeremie
don't have free time for made any changes in current dispatch server.
So probably this 2 minutes task must wait few months before i start
work on new dispatch server (at this moment i don't have access to
dispatch server).

1. Where add it?
2. IIRC LZMA isn't registered compression for any HTTP version and
cannot be placed in HTTP headers.

I'm sorry but this i don't understand :( LZMA compression is optional,
not required, client can use it, it isn't forced to use it. This is
only extension, which not change anything. If you want use it, now you
can, if you don't want - you stay with gzip compression ;)
