Q: 

Apache 2 mod deflate strange behaviour

Apache compress content only if receives "Accept-Encoding: gzip" in request header. If i set "Accept-Encoding: deflate" then Apache would not compress the response anymore.

Does mod_deflate use gzip compression algorithm or deflate compression algorithm (aka zlib)?
