[TYPO3-english] code-junk in scriptmerger compressed scripts

[Marcel Remmy]

hi there,

just setting up a small 4.4a2 test-system that uses ext:scriptmerger as 
css+js merger+compressor. problem is, that the extension itselfs works 
great as long as compress = 0 is set. so merging works.

now, if i set compress = 1 to even further save bandwith, the file 
changes from .css to .gz.css which is okay, but the content is not readable.

the apache httpd (2.2) running on ubuntu-server has the necessary mods 
loaded, like deflate, headers, expires and so on.

i also pasted the example.htaccess content to my ordinary .htaccess and 
for purposes of exasperation again in 
typo3temp/scriptmerger/compressed/.htaccess but the result keeps always 
the same:


1fT´éø“²&õÎG®r+2[áÙ©ª7˜oÙb¤lÙ„³F,¢–.ӧϩ쓾ڕÅ<kÄ*‡Ëh;±5æK²Ë”‘

this is part of the content of those files in compressed/*.gz.css - for 
now this could be okay (due to compression) but the requesting client 
also shows this type of code. i checked the response headers:

Accept-Ranges:bytes
Content-Encoding:gzip
Content-Length:4266
Content-Type:text/css

right now, i´m out of ideas. can somebody please give me a hint?
