Content-Encoding is not set in response when using zlib.output_com pression

I enabled automatic gzip compression with the following lines in
..htaccess:

php_value zlib.output_com pression On
php_value zlib.output_com pression_level 5

The problem is that the Content-Encoding header does not get set at all
in the response. Therefore, a browser that advertises itself as
supporting gzip compression (Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate) receives
compressed content but does not know it is compressed.

If I manually add the following to my script:

header("Content-Encoding: gzip");

.... it then works.

I'm using PHP Version 4.4.2 with the following Configure Command

'./configure' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.34' '--with-openssl'
'--with-gd' '--with-mysql' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-track-vars'
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-zlib=/usr'
'--enable-mbstring' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-exif'
'--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local' '--with-pspell=/usr/local'

Zlib settings:
ZLib Support enabled
Compiled Version 1.2.2
Linked Version 1.2.2

Any ideas of what might be causing this?

extracted from http://uk2.php.net/zlib: "Whether to transparently
compress pages. If this option is set to "On" in php.ini or the Apache
configuration, pages are compressed if the browser sends an
"Accept-Encoding: gzip" or "deflate" header."

So if your client doesnt send accept-encoding:gzip, you won't get that!

Also you could look at the notes.

You could try a different browser, or configuring it.
