Please report back what you find, thanks. But why this happens to .gz *AND* .Z ? If I uncomment the following lines (what I did) in the srm.conf it works: #AddEncoding x-compress Z #AddEncoding x-gzip gz (mime.types file is as distributed by apache package) Could you tell me if this is a mis-interpretation from MSIE or a mis-sending type from Apache Web server? If you think it's Microsoft (send me an e-mail to confirm), I will register this bug, but keep a track of this fro the community. Thanks, -Christofer
