If you put your content on the server then I think you do have access.  
According to the headers your server is Apache, so try uploading a file  
named ".htaccess" (without the quotes) with the following raw text content:

# Adding the SVG media type and encoding in case they aren't already
AddType     image/svg+xml             svg svgz
AddEncoding gzip                      svgz
AddCharset  utf-8 .svg


If you want, you don't actually have to rename your files to *.svgz, and  
instead just let the server transmit the files using gzip compression  
automatically. To get this you can append the following to the .htaccess  
file:

# gzip compression.
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
   # html, txt, css, js, json, xml, htc:
   AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/css  
application/json
   AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript application/javascript  
application/x-javascript
   AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml application/xml text/x-component

   # webfonts and svg:
   <FilesMatch "\.(ttf|otf|eot|svg)$" >
     SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
   </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>


To conclude I would like to recommend browsing the following two sites for  
some tips & tricks on serving web content:
