There are qualities that are useful for having different responses, like supported language, whether the browser accepts gzipped content, etc.

Fuck that shit.

You can do language codes in the URL to serve different versions of content
If your browser can do TLS then it should be able to handle gzip content or alternatively if the internet didn't allow cookies and scripting in your browser then it would have been safe to use TLSs built in compression
