I need little help here. First time browsing or memcached restart will show you the data correctly; but when you refresh second time and it will gives you content encoding error and I think it is something to do with my nginx or ngx_srcache config for fetching data from memcached. I checked using Wireshark from the client-end and found nginx sending uncompressed data and I can see the Accept-encoding and Connection-encoding on request and response header are set respectively. I suspect the error triggers due to browser expect compressed data instead of uncompressed data.

Backend I get uncompressed data and I assume that ngx_srcache will compress said data before storing them on memcached. If ngx_srcache compress data and store them in memcached by default, how do we pass client accept encoding to memcached via ngx_srcache which is not happening. If I use gzip off; then I get data properly.

Here are my configurations:
