When attempting to validate my site with the W3C validator, it returns the error, "Don't know how to decode Content-Encoding 'none'". Firebug confirms that my server is sending the header, "Content-Encoding: none".
But I can't find any directive in apache2.conf or in my vhost that sets the Content-Encoding header.
Where does the directive go, and what should it be set to?
UPDATE:
On further examination it seems something is wrong with mod_deflate (gzip). It's zipping my css files just fine, but is not zipping the html generated by my php scripts.
I have:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css
And the pages are showing a mime type of: "text/html". But content encoding is "none" and they aren't zipping. Perhaps these issues are related?
