SOLVED Pages are GZIP compressed instead of DEFLATE

[Reado]

I have mod_deflate enabled in EA4 and I am testing using both Firefox and Chrome (latest stable versions).

The domain is set to use PHP-FPM and the PHP Handler is CGI (the only option).

When I load a simple PHP/HTML page, the headers state it's using GZIP compression.

Part of the .htaccess file reads:

SetEnvIfNoCase ^(Accept-EncodXng|X-cept-Encoding|X{15}|~{15}|-{15})$ ^((gzip|deflate)\s*,?\s*)+|[X~-]{4,13}$ HAVE_Accept-Encoding
RequestHeader append Accept-Encoding "gzip,deflate" env=HAVE_Accept-Encoding

AddEncoding gzip svgz

The response headers are:

HTTP/2.0 200 OK
date: Wed, 24 Oct 2018 08:34:24 GMT
server: Apache
content-encoding: gzip
vary: Accept-Encoding
strict-transport-security: max-age=16070400; includeSubDomains; preload
cache-control: max-age=2592000, no-transform

x-content-type-options: nosniff
content-type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8
X-Firefox-Spdy: h2

Any idea why mod_deflate is not being used?

The pages are being sent compressed as stated by the content-encoding: gzip response header.

If you can see the page in a web browser in the layout and format that is intended, then mod_deflate is working to unzip the page and display it.

You would not normally see any response header that refers to the mod_deflate process.
