Hello.
I took the recommended configuration of http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html but we encountered an error with IE 5.5 and IE 6 browser, regarding this bug: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B327286 .
As a result, we had to remove compression for .js and .css files, as set in the mod_gzip configuration.
Note the modification of SetEnvIfNoCase. The recommended configuration could have a problematic behaviour. What is the correct thing to do to suggest a modification?
You're doing it now.
But from looking at the ms knowledge base article, it seems like this will only occur in very rare circumstances involving frames and cache-control headers. It would be a shame to never compress js/css to work around a rare problem. Is this a more common problem than MS suggests?
Well. Rather difficult to say, but we have a client who can't see a page (with ou without frame) on our site when we have js compression. We made tests, and the problem seems to occur every 50 to ... times. Not very often.
MS says that the bug is only present on MSIE 6 whereas we have tested it against a IE 5.5.
It's a bug on a MSIE version, and it seems that MS has not release a patch to correct it. As MSIE6 and 5.5 represent nearly a very large part of the browser (on our stats: 83%), the problem is real.
