For a simple request (w/o Accept-Encoding:) of a .ps file we have
Content-Type: application/postscript
For a .ps.gz file (still w/o Accept-Encoding) we have
Content-Type: application/postscript
Content-Encoding: x-gzip
For a .ps file with Accept-Encoding we get
Content-Type: application/postscript
Content-Encoding: gzip
No Transfer-Encoding headers anywhere.
So, this seems a browser problem and we should "fix" the web pages,
shouldn't we?
