I don't know the correct mime type off the top of my head, but you need to set the respone content type to "svgz" (or something similar) not "gzip".

Subject: Gzip SVG


Hi,
    I am generating a svg file using java servlet at runtime and sending it to the client. However, I'd like to gzip it before I send it to the client. For that I am doing this:

1) set header:
        response.setHeader("Content-Encoding", "gzip");
2) write output using Gzip class        
        GZIPOutputStream gzos = new GZIPOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
        gzos.write(svgString.getBytes());
        gzos.close();

After adding this code, when I run the servlet from the browser, instead of displaying the svg file on the browser it pops up a window and asks for downloading the file...

How can I get the gzipped svg file to be displayed on the browser..

Thanks for any help..
