You're right that (older?) ms browsers are bogus regarding deflate. However,
I thin I got this working by using a raw deflate stream without zlib header.
I can't remember which browser versions I tested with, though. But all I
tested were working.

However, I'll happily accept a patch using gzip, of course!
