wget Command: Download Compressed File By Sending gzip Headers

To download a compressed file using wget and send the gzip headers, you can use the following command:

Replace <URL> with the URL of the file you want to download. The --header option allows you to specify an HTTP header to be sent in the request. In this case, the header Accept-Encoding: gzip tells the server that the client can handle gzip-compressed content. If the server supports gzip compression, it will send the file in gzip format, and wget will decompress it automatically.

Note that this method only works if the server supports gzip compression and is configured to compress the file when it receives a request with the Accept-Encoding: gzip header.
