I have an issue ( ) related to Ajax responses and GZIP compression.

This is in the context of the Apache Tapestry web framework, which
uses Prototype & Scriptaculous.

The issue is that if the response to an Ajax response is compressed
with GZIP, some users see problems: the content visible to the client
web browser is garbled.

I haven't seen this, but I tend to test my apps direct (browser
directly to servlet container, nothing in the middle).

My working theory is that a firewall (or proxy) between the browser
and the servlet container is at fault. Tapestry does the right thing,
in terms of settitng the Content-Encoding header to "gzip" when it is
sending a compressed stream.

Apparently, this only happens for application/json responses, not for
text/javascript responses.

Is anyone aware of similar problems in their apps? I'd prefer not to
disable compression of application/json responses.
