What do the popular http daemons do about this? I think a good solution
would be:
For every .html request that comes in (or perhaps for any request in
general), look for a file fitting the traditional spec.
If that fails, look for a .gz version of that file in the same directory.
If that fails, return the usual 404 error.
Does anything already implement this? If not, why not?
