This is more than likely a browser problem.  The following comment
appears in mod_deflate.c:

/* Some browsers might have problems with content types
 * other than text/html, so set gzip-only-text/html
 * (with browsermatch) for them
 */

and see:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html.en#enable

for how to resolve it.

HTH,


				Neil.
