Content-Encoding: gzip doesn't work for text/html Content-Type

I use the config below in my .htaccess. However, whilst other Content-Type get gzipped, the text/html Content-Type doesn't. Anyone knows why?

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/javascript
    BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
    BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
    BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
    SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
    Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
</IfModule>

For me it was because of the charset. Whereas:

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/javascript application/json text/json

did not work, 

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/javascript application/json text/json application/javascript;charset=utf-8 text/css;charset=utf-8

worked. I didn't feel like looking for better answers like how I can instruct Apache to parse out the charset from the content type and I figured that just giving the whole String as is should work. Fortunately it did for me.

I ran across this while having the same issue on a Magento site. In my case the answer was to enable zlib output compression in php.ini because the html was being dynamically generated.

Try to insert the AddType for html before it, like:

AddType text/html .html .htm
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/javascript
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary

Here you have a complete list of MIME types: http://www.htaccess-guide.com/adding-mime-types/

*Edit: Try to change the rule then:

<ifModule mod_deflate.c>
    <filesMatch "\.(js|css|html|php)$">
        SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
    </filesMatch>
</ifModule>
