GZIP for CSS and JS dosen't work in Google Chrome, but does in Firefox

I have recently figured out how to enable GZIP (or Deflate) on my WAMP server that I will be using to serve my intranet application.

However, when testing in Google Chrome I see that the PHP file is compressed but Javascript files and CSS are not. The Response header shows that it is not compressed and Google Pagespeed confirms this.

Firefox on the other hand recives all files with compression without a problem.

Here are the headers for the main CSS file as an example:

Google Chrome

Content-Type: text/css
Accept-Ranges: bytes

200 OK

Firefox

Accept-Ranges: bytes
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Length: 1273
Content-Type: text/css

200 OK

Is this a problem with my WAMP setup, code, or is it just Google Chrome?

Thank you.

I think the problem should be in apache configuration.
