gzip not working on internal css and javascript

Question

I followed this link to gzip my php driven website It's working fine but what happened is I checked my website in this link http://gzipwtf.com/ and as well as checked it in web developer toolbar in mozila whether css and javascripts are gzipped or not, I found only external css and javascripts are gzipped while internal css and javascripts are not gzipped. I have no idea what went wrong.

UPDATE:

Internal CSS and javascript such as http://www.myserver.com/style.css are not gzipped while external css and javascipt such as https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js are gzipped.

@Znarkus I think so but how do we confirm it? got any tools to check that? — uttam, Jun 07 '12 at 10:14
I believe you can check if there is a `Content-Encoding: gzip` response header — Markus Hedlund, Jun 07 '12 at 11:34
If the HTML is gzipped, how is the "internal css and js" not gzipped? What is "internal css and js"? — Markus Hedlund, Jun 08 '12 at 06:31
i don't think that's the problem because i have tested my website with this tool http://www.gidnetwork.com/tools/gzip-test.php and it shows positive result — uttam, Jun 07 '12 at 09:29

The jQuery JS is loaded from Google's servers, which gzips it. You need to configure your server to gzip the static files (JS/CSS) on your server.

Do a Google search on "[insert server name] gzip", and you'll probably find countless tutorials :)
