I disagree, it took me far too many hours to discover that RIPE NCC's
RRDP servers don't have gzip compression enabled. :-)

The warning already is gated behind the 'verbose' command line option, the
warning shows less than a handful of times with an empty cachedir, and only
zero or one times for subsequent runs with a warm cache. In other words, the
warning only appears for egregious waste of bandwidth. I need something simple
(like this) to illustrate inefficiency and quickly test with publication point
operators.

If you have the cycles to additionally expose more detailed info like you
suggest in the openmetrics output that would be welcomed.

Is the patch correct?

Kind regards,
