I have developed a simple Java Servlet in order to retrieve a medical file(DICOM) from a server:
public class DicomRetrieveServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(DicomRetrieveServlet.class);
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String dicomFilepath = "PATH TO MY FILE";
InputStream resultInStream = null;
response.setHeader("Accept-Ranges","bytes");
response.setHeader("Vary", "Accept-Encoding");
response.setHeader("Content-Encoding", "gzip");
response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin","*");
response.setContentType("application/dicom");
try (OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream()) {
int bytes_read;
resultInStream = new FileInputStream(dicomFilepath.toString());
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
while ((bytes_read = resultInStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, bytes_read);
}
out.flush();
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error("Error while streaming DICOM image ", e);
}
}
If I comment this line:
response.setHeader("Content-Encoding", "gzip");
the servlet works fine, but adding the above line would cause:

... 29 more
for some reasons I want to simulate an other server behavior which has below HTTP Response Header:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 14:13:51 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS)
Last-Modified: Mon, 07 Apr 2014 18:40:46 GMT

Vary: Accept-Encoding

Content-Type: application/dicom
And these are Http Request Headers:

I am using 'jdk1.8.0_77' and 'apache-tomcat-7.0.62'.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you dear @EJP for your useful comment, The gzip Filter did not effect my Servlet, so the content was not realy in GZIP format and adding the wrong content-encoding caused the mentioned exception.
I removed this wrong statement:
response.setHeader("Content-Encoding","gzip");
And I have added my servlet url to the GZIP Filter url pattern. Now the response Header is in good shape:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Encoding: gzip
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=1.2.410.200028.456.20151027.10647.1.1.dcm
Content-Type: application/dicom
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
