gzip inflation of xml not working on chrome and safari

my app downloads number of xml files compressed using gzip, , staged in amazon cloud (s3)

with content-encoding=gzip , content-type=application/octet-stream

i obtain them using mx.rpc.http:httpservice, resultformat="e4x"

this has worked fine me on firefox, ie , opera, works neither on chrome (21) nor safari, nor has while.

it understanding browser expected inflate incoming file automatically, , forward the

decompressed result flash (4). why not being done here? expect different content type?

are there known browser settings can remedy this?

thanks in advance attention.

i found following link illuminating. followed procedure on test case , worked all

browsers, including troublesome webkit-based chrome , safari duo.

unfortunately involves renaming content, can real chore, example

the typical filename.xml.gz must renamed filename.gz.xml, , forth other

mime types..
