Are there any known issues with older/buggy browsers that claim to support gzip/deflate compression

  • 0

Are there any known issues with older/buggy browsers that claim to support gzip/deflate compression but don’t handle it very well? I’m obviously only turning it on for browsers that claim to support it, but for the best user experience, I want to know if there are any browsers I should blacklist.

For some reason, I remember hearing problems about IE6 and gzip, but I’m not sure what the details were.

    Here are some links to documents that name some browsers that don’t support compression though claiming it:

    • Apache’s sample configuration in the mod_deflate module documentation
    • Which browsers can handle Content-Encoding: gzip?
