Description
Some live streaming servres (such as Youtube live feeds) can generate multi-megabyte .m3u8 files when uncompressed and on long feeds. Accepting gzip'd playlist files can both save bandwidth and dramatically improve playback performance.
I've tested this by just using "Accept-Encoding: gzip" but I don't think that would be an acceptable solution.

I just came across this in my own testing.
I have a couple of live-event streams that can generate a 1mb big playlist.
It would benefit everyone if that m3u8 can be gzipped instead.
