This problem comes when the data returned from the server is not in the format that is excepted by the browser. Also this can be caused by any one of the following:
- Accept: The MIME types accepted by the browser. For example, HTML files, GIF files etc.
- Accept-Charset: The character sets accepted by the client, e.g. utf-8, iso-8859-1 etc.
- Accept-Encoding: The data encoding accepted by the client e.g. the file formats it understands, e.g. gzip.
- Accept-Language: The natural languages (English, German etc.) accepted by the client.
Check what the server is returning and fix the problem!

sdch is implemented in Chrome. I don't know about it in other browsers. If the response is encoded in that format then your browser may not be able to decode it or deflate has some compatibility issue.

great. My projects works on IE and Firefox. Then the problem is Chrome I think. Here is another thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4105670/how-to-get-around-content-encoding-gzip-deflate-header-sent-by-chrome – talhaocakci Dec 08 '11 at 13:30
