Hi,

I have the following configuration:

Server side:
    Apache 2.x with deflate module configured for cotet-stream.

Client Side:
    IE 6.0.2 SP2
    dot net framework v1.1.4322

and...
1. IE Crashes when trying to display compressed (gzip) Dot Net Control that
is embedded in the HTML on the first attempt to view the page. the second
attempt (uncompressed file is already in the cache) the IE doesn't crash and
the Dot Net control (<OBJECT> tag) is displayed.

2. the client (IE) gets the compressed files and decompress them (can be
found in the IE cache)

3. when trying to get the control via the url line and not the html tag
everything works fine.

4. this is not a security issue since caspol -s off was applied.

5. as far as i can see the server side compresses the files as expected and
send them to the client

6. I found the following issues on the web

    which seems relevant
