Hi there;

This should happen as the default action if there is not something wrong. If 
it's not the case for you then you need to make sure if it's an Apache issue or 
IE issue. Just check with another client. If the same thing happens with a 
diffrent browser, then chances are that your Apache is sending incorrect 
content-type header for your .gz files. To check it do the following:

[root@ root]# telnet www.myserver.com 80

Escape character is '^]'.
<you type>
HEAD <your-uri> HTTP/1.1
host: www.myserver.com

<you get>
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2003 16:09:41 GMT
Content-Length: 31223
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html  <----

Connection closed by foreign host.
[root@ root]# 
---
If you see text/html or text/text as the Content-Type then your apache is 
misconfigured. Perhaps your /etc/mime.types is missing or corrupt. Or perhaps 
you need to check different AddType directives inside your Apache config file.

Hope it helps you,
Mohsen Moeeni,
