How do I load a javascript library in Rhino, from a server that uses gzip encoding?

In rhino, I'm used to being able to load javascript libraries from a URL, e.g.

load('http://latex.mathoverflow.net/mathjax/MathJax.js')

(This doesn't actually work, unless you provide a browser-like environment first, via env.js or similar. But rhino manages to get the file, and start compiling it.)

However, if the server provides the javascript library gzipped, rhino seems to fail immediately with syntax errors, e.g.

load('http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js')

You can see the difference using curl, e.g.

curl --head http://latex.mathoverflow.net/mathjax/MathJax.js

gives

Any suggestions? Is there a trick to allow rhino to load gzipped scripts?

There is now a bug report for this.
