not sure, may because of the internal VS of WA.

 

the request in an 9.x WA will be like this:

 

 

request->vs->tmm->pvac->internal vs->tmm->server

 

 

so the event will be hit twice. even serverside event was executed when tmm send traffic to pvac. that may cause the client header accept-encoding was removed. so when pvac accept the request, it has no accept-encoding header in the request, that pvac will not compress the content when it receive the server response.
