Need help in compatibility modes of IE11

Hi

One of our intranet application in my organization was tested on IE11 and it wasn't working without any compatibility settings. I did added the pages (domain) to compatibility View list in Tools and page is working fine in IE5 mode (as Doctype wasn't there in that app which is previously working in IE8 quirks mode). Now my question is can we achieve the same via X-UA compatible meta tag?

Can i write this X-UA compatible meta tag in those app header page and make it render in compatibility (IE 5) mode without any changes @ client browser again ( what i mean is without asking uses to add the page or app to compatibility view list since it's painful as there are several users). So how to exactly mimic the "Adding a page to Compatibility view via Tools --> Compatibility View List)

I tried this in one of the test environment, but interestingly it worked when i am hitting the  application directly on App server port (it's a Java based application installed on WAS8.5) so when i am hitting the 9080 ports in test env i can see my meta X-UA compatible tag and it's working perfectly. But when i hit the pages via webserver port (IBM HTTP webserver 8080 ports) the page is being rendered as plain page :( it's not interpreting it as HTML code hence the source code is being displayed in browser just like plain text. But its working perfectly when i manually select the compatibility mode via tools -> Compatibility View List, but not working when i try to do it programmatically using meta X-UA compatible header. Is Webserver has any part to play for such compatibility header and settings?
