Subject: gzip cgi compression

Is zlib compatible with HTTP-gzip-output-compression?

I tried the following short code and I get a really good looking response, 
but all browsers display only the compressed data. It seems, that they 
don't unzip ?

data=<<EOF

<body>

EOF

require 'zlib'
zipped = Zlib::Deflate.deflate data, 9

puts 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK'
puts 'Server: Ruby'
puts 'Content-Encoding: gzip'
puts 'Vary: Accept-Encoding'
puts 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked'
puts 'Content-Type: text/html'
puts

print zipped.length.to_s(16)
print "\r\n"
print zipped
print "\r\n"
print "0"
print "\r\n\r\n"
