-Some allusion is made in various places on the net to early versions of browsers not properly supporting compressed content - see [http://www.http-compression.com/ for a discussion of http compression and browser support]. The short answer is that the browsers we want to support (IE 7+, Firefox 2+ and others) all support compressed content without issues BUT there have been reports of gzip compression causing confusion on Windows Vista. If Vista is an issue then perhaps Vista clients can be trapped by examining http headers and switching off gzip compression for such requests or alternatively sites can disable the filter altogether by commenting it out in the web.xml file.

No reports of this problem have been reported by BlueNet users as yet though and this has been in use for approx 6 months.
