Bug#553345: libwww-perl: Should accept x-bzip2 content-coding when declared as bzip2

[Maik Zumstrull]

Package: libwww-perl
Severity: minor

In HTTP::Message, libwww-perl checks for the gzip content-coding with
if ($ce eq "gzip" || $ce eq "x-gzip")
but for the bzip2 content-coding with:
elsif ($ce eq "x-bzip2")

I think HTTP::Message should handle bzip2 when it's declared as such
and not as x-bzip2. The name is not registered with IANA, but there
are servers out there that use it anyway.

To minimize any RFC violations, LWP should only quietly understand the
unregistered name when used by a peer and not advertise it itself in
any headers.
