Paul Stanton commented on TAP5-1880:
------------------------------------

This is more common than you might think. We've just had our two largest clients come up against this in the last week. It was initially very hard to diagnose GZIP as the culprit.

Many corporate environments use internet explorer behind proxies.

The problem manifests itself as lots of javascript syntax errors un-styled html.

> Internet explorer when behind a proxy defaults to using HTTP 1.0 (instead of HTTP 1.1) and in this scenario, GZIP compression is still applied to the response and the clients do not interpret the response correctly.
> This may either be caused by the client incorrectly setting 'accept-encoding' or incorrectly reading the 'encoding' headers at either end, however since it only occurs over http 1.0 it should just be disabled for all http 1.0 requests.
