Answer 1

You shouldn't set the request header "Accept-Encoding". This is set automatically by the browser. See this Q&A for a list a browsers that accept gzip.

On the server side, you will need to set the Content-Encoding to:

Content-Encoding: gzip

Then the response should be automatically decompressed by the browser.
