PR 110: new default

@@ -51,9 +51,19 @@ The current encodings are, in order of preference: `br`, `gzip`, `deflate`.
 Setting `options[encoding] = {}` will pass those options to the encoding function.
 Setting `options[encoding] = false` will disable that encoding.

+An optional string, which specifies what encoders to use for requests without

+Default `idenity`.
+
+The standard dictates to treat such requests as `*` meaning that all compressions are permissible,
+yet it causes very practical problems when debugging servers with manual tools like `curl`, `wget`, and so on.
+If you want to enable the standard behavior, just set `defaultEncoding` to `*`.
