Apache inflate application/ with mod_filter

I need to prevent pdf objects from being gzipped. Really, this only needs to take place if the request is from the Mozilla browser (but since I can't get something as seemingly simple as no-gzip for application/pdf, I figure it's wiser to start there). From looking at the apache documentation on mod_filter, I've got the following:

<Location />
  FilterDeclare gzipDeflate CONTENT_SET
  FilterDeclare gzipInflate CONTENT_SET
  FilterProvider gzipDeflate deflate req=User-Agent $Mozilla/
  FilterProvider gzipInflate inflate resp=Content-Type $application/
  FilterChain +gzipDeflate +gzipInflate
</Location>

From my testing, the gzipDeflate filter is doing its job and all the pages without the Content-Type starting with application are being gzipped. But, the gzipInflate doesn't seem to be working at all. I've inspected the response in Firebug and verified that the Content-Type being sent down is application/pdf. I'll go ahead and ask a potentially stupid question though:

The response's Content-Type header in its entirety read "application/pdf; charset=Windows-1252". Does that make any sort of difference or is $application/ presumably enough to catch that?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

One other point, the URL that returns the pdf object does not have the .pdf extension. The pdf itself is stored in an Oracle database as a blob and appended to the page when appropriate (all the urls in the system use the same baseline). This was part of an original inquiry by a helpful member at stackoverflow who pointed me towards mod_filter and suggested I post the question here.
