Todd Farrell commented on MAGNOLIA-2334:
----------------------------------------
We have experienced this same issue where IE appears to display gzipped content
but we've also had problems where stylesheets were being retrieved in a gzipped
format and not being interpreted correctly.
A similar investigation looking at the HTTP headers revealed that our corporate
proxy server (apparently an aging version of Microsoft ISA) was returning
gzipped content to IE even though IE did not actually send an _Accept: gzip_
type header -- this seems to confuse IE but not the other browsers.
I note that your request/response + headers suggest a transparent proxy might
be in use ({{X-Cache: MISS from proxy.be.ch}}) -- in our case it is a browser
configured proxy server via group policy.
What we found was when users access the site directly (not through the proxy),
the pages rendered fine in IE. However, when accessing the site through the
corporate proxy server, there were intermittent problems.
Since this only appeared to be affecting internal staff (external users who
aren't required to use the corporate proxy server have not reported any
issues), our current workaround is a group policy setting that forces IE to
exclude the relevant domain names from being proxied. We're also planning to
upgrade to a more recent version of ISA to see whether that helps.
Another indicator that it might not be a problem with Magnolia is that
Atlassian Confluence also displays similar issues with stylesheets not being
applied to pages when it is accessed via our corporate proxy server.
I have no conclusive evidence either way though -- it's very hard to reproduce
since it happens intermittently for us -- hope this helps!

>
> When trying to load a page served by Magnolia 3.6.1 on a computer in the
> departments of the Canton of Bern (and also Basel Land) the browser is only
> displaying hieroglyphs instead of the page (public as well as admin pages).
> Only the standard login page is displayed correctly.
> It's _not_ a character encoding problem: You cannot look at the source code
> with a few mangled characters. It's nothing but hieroglyphs (see attached
> screenshot).
> I _suspect_ it to be a problem with page compression - I did not have the
> chance to try it with compression turned off.
