# Some webservers may serve compressed content of rather big size (e.g. gzipped flac)

# test whether it's HTML or not). According to youtube-dl default Accept-Encoding
# that will always result in downloading the whole file that is not desirable.
# Therefore for extraction pass we have to override Accept-Encoding to any in order
# to accept raw bytes and being able to download only a chunk.
# It may probably better to solve this by checking Content-Type for application/octet-stream
# after HEAD request finishes, but not sure if we can rely on this.
