I suspect that you have simply configured mod_gzip to be only active
for URLs ending in .html etc, and the transfer-encoding just happens
to correlate with that because it's not a local "file" but generated
dynamically. You should check the outgoing content-type instead of the
URL. We've been using the following for quite some time:
FilterProvider buffer BUFFER "%{CONTENT_TYPE} =~ m|^text/|"
FilterProvider buffer BUFFER "%{CONTENT_TYPE} =~ m|^model/|"
[... more content types ]
FilterProvider gzip_compression DEFLATE "%{CONTENT_TYPE} =~ m|^text/|"
FilterProvider gzip_compression DEFLATE "%{CONTENT_TYPE} =~ m|^model/|"
[...]
FilterChain buffer gzip_compression
