gzip/mod_deflate - only works with responses, not requests

In dealing with the chunky responses from zOGI, I enabled mod_deflate on 
apache.  Using the apache logs, and tcpdump, I can confirm that the 
server's responses are being gzipped, but requests to the server, whilst 
being gzipped before being sent to the server, are causing a problem. This 
is the server's response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<body>&lt;0x0x8ee039c[SxUserFolder]: login=root&gt;</body>
</html>

It's hard to know if that is an Apache error or a Sope error.  Does it 
mean that the un-gzipping is working, but something is garbled in the 
process?  Since the authorization travels outside the content, I can't 
really decide what's going on.

I've checked that the headers received include "Content-Encoding: gzip", 
and the content is indeed gzipped.  Any ideas?  I think that most users 
are likely to be on ADSL, so being able to gzip data being sent to the 
server is likely to make the app seem more responsive.  Certainly received 
gzipped data makes it much snappier.
