After the server move at Dreamhost, we noticed a strange behaviour in some of our Rails apps. Occasionally, they would offer us a .BIN file to download instead of rendering a view.

This turns out to be a conflict between mod_fastcgi and mod_deflate; the fix as explained in that post is simply to add the following line to the .htaccess file for your Rails app:

SetEnv no-gzip dont-vary
