The deflator at the URL I linked to uses zlib.net's delflate scheme set to its maximum level. It also doesn't include all of GZIP's extra baggage.

FYI: sending raw deflate content to the browser is valid and [works everywhere](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1574168/deflate-compression-browser-compatibility-and-advantages-over-gzip/5186177#5186177) as long has the Content-Encoding header is "deflate"
