IE9 not sending Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

My Internet Explorer is not sending below line in the header-

Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

Open in new window

I confirmed this by checking the response content type in IE DeveloperTools. "TEXT/HTML" is appearing there in "Type" field.

FireFox browser, is sending GZIP in the header and getting the compressed response.

How can I enable GZIP for IE?

The link is http or https ?
Is it okay let us know the exact link site path so that we can try it at our side with Charles http proxy debugger

Could you try this follows to see any improvement ?

-1 On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
-2 Click the Advanced tab.
-3 In the Settings box, scroll down to the Security section, and then make sure that the Do not save encrypted pages to a disk check box is not selected.

Hope understand your question completely.If not, please point it out.

It is HTTP link. As it is intranet site, exact link may not be useful. I enabled gzip on the server side and it is working for FireFox browser.

gzip is not working for IE browser only as it is not sending Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate in its header.

And yes "Do not save encrypted pages to a disk" check box is not selected.
