Content-Encoding: gzip implies a gz header. zlib.deflate just deflates and emits headerless data. Because creating a valid header requires the length of the content to be known, there's no stream filter in PHP to create a gz header.

To see Chrome decode your test image, use gzencode() or set Content-Encoding to deflate.

<?php

header('Content-Encoding: gzip');

header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');

$data = file_get_contents('test.jpg');

$gzdata = gzencode($data, 9);

$fout = fopen('php://output', "w");

fwrite($fout, $gzdata);

fclose($fout);
