Just to report, the problem is not "fixed" for many production environments
even with that trick.... If gzip compression is done by the webserver, the
response must be > 512 bytes after the compression....I guess however for
production sites everyone has his custom page and not the default one.
Anyway, using web2py as a backend (as in restful requests, @service calls,
etc), can't we just leave out that trick and add 512 bytes to the default
error ticket view ? After all, it's only a problem of IE < 7
