The server is doing content negotiation, the client asks for foo.html, it
looks for that, doesn't find it, and content negotiation kicks in, and it
finds foo.html.gz

Regarding option 2 (HTTP server), you might want to take a look at the

/usr/doc/mh-book, but you have to register the information with dwww using
doc-base.
