This guard was backwards, not only breaking the functionality it was intended to provide, but also causing panics under certain conditions. In this case, the haystack is the pre-existing Vary header on the response, and the needle is "Accept-Econding". If we are compressing a response, and there is already a Vary header on the response, it is <= 15 bytes and does not match Accept-Encoding, this would cause a range index error as the while statement would not provide an effective guard.

@seanmonstar Could you yank the latest version and release a new one? (for some reason the crates.io web interface doesn't offer me the Yank button) |

You might want to add some tests first? and perhaps have it as a policy to at least have some tests. Even better if you can reuse this from a utility module or w/e. As that would have prevented the original mistake to begin with. |

I'm swamped with staying on top of things already, so I don't have any spare time to write tests. A PR with tests would be very welcome though. |

I'm happy to contribute a test or two as well, if so desired.
