do you have Multiviews enabled for this URL?

You serve the file with a MIME type that is unknown to
the browser.
You need to specify the mapping of "*.html.gz" to
"text/html" - your current MIME type definition doesn't
cover that, as your file name doesn't match "*.html$"
any more.

Yep. Multiviews is a very special thing - it isn't
covered by "AllowOverride All", as an example.
