While we're on the subject.
In IE4, it sends out Accept-Encoding: gzip both for
html and javascript requests.
However,
it will not understand any compressed javascript files
until it has first loaded a compressed html file.
Once it has loaded a compressed html file, it can then
successfully load a non-compressed html file that
references a compressed javascript file.
Clear as mud?
