      Issue Summary

      Jira sets the Vary header as `User-Agent` instead of `Accept-Encoding` for gzip requests.

      Steps to Reproduce

      Observe the `Vary` header in HTTP responses for gzip enabled requests.

      Expected Results

      Using `Accept-Encoding` is the more appropriate response header here. This was previously needed to support Internet Explorer.

      Actual Results

      `User-Agent` is less optimal for performance and cache management. 

      Workaround

      Customers can set `Accept-Encoding` in their proxy to override this.
