try setting the encoding before you request the output stream. You may be
losing the header by requesting the output stream first.
httpResponse.setHeader("Content-Encoding", "gzip");
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
I know you can't set headers after writing to the output stream, but I'm not
sure if you can after getting a reference to the outputstream. IIRC, the
getOutputStream() determines whether you have written anything or not(i.e.
try getWriter() immediately after getOutputStream() and it will throw an
error)
