Body: a flat object\n`{\"<author>/<pkg>\": [\"<v1>\",\"<v2>\",...]}` for every package ever\npublished, e.g. `\"0ui/elm-task-parallel\":\n[\"1.0.0\",\"1.0.1\",\"1.0.2\",\"2.0.0\"]`. No special headers required for a\nplain, uncompressed GET.\n\n2. `GET /all-packages/since/0` -> 200, JSON array of\n`\"author/pkg@version\"` strings (an integer-cursor changefeed), e.g.\n`[\"jxxcarlson/xmarkdown-compiler@2.1.1\",\"agj/elm-simple-icons@1.18.0\",\n...]`. Also no special headers required.\n\n3. `GET /search.json` **without** `--compressed`/`Accept-Encoding` ->\n**406**, `text/plain`, a hand-written instructive error page: `\"-- 406\n-- MISSING accept-encoding HEADER --------------\\n\\nAdd the\n--compressed flag to help reduce bandwidth costs!\\n\\n    curl\n--compressed https://package.elm-lang.org/search.json\\n\\nIf that does\nnot work for some reason, you can try the following:\\n\\n    curl -sH\n'accept-encoding: gzip' https://package.elm-lang.org/search.json\"`.\nRetried the **same URL** with `curl --compressed` -> 200,\n`content-type: application/json`, `content-encoding: gzip`, real JSON\narray: `[{\"name\":\"elm/browser\",\"summary\":\"Run Elm in browsers, with\naccess to browser history for single-page apps\n(SPAs)\",\"license\":\"BSD-3-Clause\",\"version\":\"1.0.2\"}, ...]`.\n\nOnly `/search.json` enforces this; `/all-packages` and\n`/all-packages/since/N` answered plain, uncompressed, header-agnostic\nGETs with 200 every time in the same session, no gzip required.
