Chrome only adds Accept-Encoding: br for https requests.
The data reduction proxy can encode content with Brotli, but because of the missing Accept-Encoding: br header, there is no way to know if the client has Brotli enabled.
Suggested fix is to add Accept-Encoding: br for requests going through the data reduction proxy.
