Guzzle does not send Accept-Encoding header by default. That is equivalent to sending Accept-Encoding: *. Most servers will probably return an uncompressed body in response to that, which can be considered wasteful, and can trigger crawler detection systems. Others might even opt to use a compression method that is not supported by the system (e.g. when libcurl is not compiled with brotli support).

Let’s force Guzzle to let curl send Accept-Encoding header reflecting which compression methods it supports: guzzle/guzzle#3215

Fixes: #1481

Guzzle does not send `Accept-Encoding` header by default.
That is equivalent to sending `Accept-Encoding: *`:
