Content Encoding Error while returning data from memcached stored by ngx_srcache

[n1xman]

I need little help here. First time browsing or memcached restart will
show you the data correctly; but when you refresh second time and it
will gives you content encoding error and I think it is something to do
with my nginx or ngx_srcache config for fetching data from memcached. I
checked using Wireshark from the client-end and found nginx sending
uncompressed data and I can see the Accept-encoding and
Connection-encoding on request and response header are set respectively.
I suspect the error triggers due to browser expect compressed data
instead of uncompressed data.

Backend I get uncompressed data and I assume that ngx_srcache will
compress said data before storing them on memcached. If ngx_srcache
compress data and store them in memcached by default, how do we pass
client accept encoding to memcached via ngx_srcache which is not
happening. If I use gzip off; then I get data properly.

Here are my configurations:
