IE doesn't support gzip compression, right?
In general, it does not support it correctly for JavaScript.
Something about truncating or corrupting the first 5k if it comes
out of cache, IIRC.
Here's one of the bugs, sounds like it's fixed in IE 6.0 SP1 though.
Perhaps you could detect the patch level of IE on the server and gzip
conditionally. I didn't find any definitive reference for IE gzip
quirks on first google, so there might be other bugs that come into
play here.
