Nor should it be: the file is a gzipped file; it's not being sent in "gzip" encoding. You are confusing the two concepts. If you request a web resource, what you get is what's on the server's disk. If that content is gzipped, you'll get a gzipped file. If it's not, you don't. Content-Encoding: gzip means that the original file is being compressed for transit, but that the original file is not (necessarily) in gzipped format. > curl -I http://localhost:8082/already-gzipped-json/fie.json > > HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Accept-Ranges: bytes > Last-Modified: Mon, 09 Mar 2015 17:15:29 GMT Content-Type: > application/gzip Content-Length: 17905 Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2015 > 19:11:06 GMT > > How do I tell Tomcat to include the Content-Encoding: gzip > response header?
