Uncompress a deflated HTTP attachment before saving to a file

Our HTTP server transmits deflated files for download requests by including the following HTTP headers (among others) in the response sent to a client browser:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=abcd
Content-Encoding: deflate
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
We expect the browser to automatically inflate the received attachment - because of the presence of the 'Content-Encoding: deflate' field - before saving it to a file. At least with Chrome, this is not the case, and the deflated content is stored as is. Any idea why the browser ignores the Content-Encoding directive? How do I get it to transparently inflate before storing the content?
