[Mod_gzip] Mod_gzip not able to handle POST method

[mod_gzip@lists.over.net]

     hi All,
     
     I would like to compress the data dished out by POST method.
     
     Mod_gzip version :- mod_gzip1.3.26.1a
     ----------------
     
     HTTPD.conf file contents :-
     ------------------------
     <IfModule mod_gzip.c>
     mod_gzip_on Yes
     mod_gzip_can_negotiate       Yes
     #mod_gzip_static_suffix       .gz
     AddEncoding               gzip .gz
     mod_gzip_command_version  show_me_the_version_number
     mod_gzip_handle_methods GET POST
     #mod_gzip_update_static        No
     mod_gzip_keep_workfiles       No
     mod_gzip_minimum_file_size    1
     mod_gzip_maximum_file_size    500000
     mod_gzip_maximum_inmem_size   60000
     mod_gzip_min_http              1000
     mod_gzip_item_include file .*
     mod_gzip_item_include uri /servlet*
     
     
     
     Compression works fine for GET method - it displays the following 
     message for POST method : 
     -----------------------------------------------------------------
     202.1.150.214 - - [17/Jan/2003:19:37:12 +0530] "POST 
     /arsys/servlet/WorkflowServlet HTTP/1.1" 200 30 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 
     (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Win32)" mod_gzip: DECLIN
     ED:NO_ACCEPT_ENCODING In:0 Out:0:0pct.
     202.1.150.214 - - [17/Jan/2003:19:37:12 +0530] "POST 
     /arsys/servlet/WorkflowServlet HTTP/1.1" 200 30 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 
     (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Win32)" mod_gzip: DECLIN
     ED:NO_ACCEPT_ENCODING In:0 Out:0:0pct.
     
     
     The theoretical meaning of 'mod_gzip: DECLINED:NO_ACCEPT_ENCODING' 
     means that the  request doesn't contain an Accept-Encoding header - 
     obviously this UserAgent doesn't understand gzip-compressed data.
     
     My Question :- if UserAgent doesn't understand gzip-compressed data , 
     then how come the UserAgent understands gzip-compressed data for GET 
     method.
     
     Appreciate all help.
