Hello,
I confirm that there is a problem even with CVS version. As far as I can
see it's a problem with gzipped content - the jmeter proxy decodes the
data but the http header content-encoding is not changed. I think the
explorer is more "clever" and just ignores this header. 
It should be very simple to fix, you can do it yourself (and submit a
patch of course  :)  or I can try (maybe) do it by tomorrow (maybe) :))
You could also find if there is appropriate entry in bugzilla and add it
if it is not.

best regards,
Michal Kostrzewa
