What is the value of the compression attribute for the HTTP <Connector>
in your Tomcat configuration? The default value is "off", which (I'm
guessing) would inhibit compression despite other settings. I don't see
a corresponding attribute for the AJP connector, so that might be a
factor in the observed behavior.

In fact, it was a gzip compression not on Tomcat side, but in the webapp
itself (using servlet filter). I do not know whether it's better or not,
but it's how it was done.

I finally managed to test it under Firefox :)
However, I think I can close this thread : without a Content-Length
header set by myself, it works fine. What is sad, is that the user does
not have the real size of what he is downloading, but it is not a real
problem.
