Someone contacted me earlier today and pointed out this typo in the mongrel apache documentation: "the following line: BrowserMatch bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html must be written instead as: BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html The effect of this typo is that files that are not caught by previously listed rules, such as all *.css and *.js files are never deflated for MSIE users - I was just testing my site with different browsers and stumbled onto this issue." Could this be the cause of some folk''s problems with MSIE and Apache? -- Zed A.
