Strange Behavior After Checking Serve Pre-Compressed Files

[DonRidley]

Hello,

I checked "Serve Pre-Compressed Files." 

Now, on some machines, the colors on my double-drop menu are totally screwed up (cannot see the text, text is the same color as the background).  I can also see a rectangle surrounding the menu bar.  This is found on IE and Firefox.  Don't know about chrome.

Second, mobile mode is really screwed up!   

On the login screen,the background is white with no buttons and small text that says "login."

However, on some machines (not mobile), everything seems to work.  So that leads me to believe that this is not a NetTalk issue but a browser settings issue.

Does anyone know any settings that would effect the use of browsing compressed web pages?

I like the feature as it speeds things up quite a bit.

Thanks,

Don

Hmm..found an interesting article that lists things that effect a browser's ability to display gzipped pages.

We are running some type of McAfee security on all machines where I had problems.  Seems McAfee changes the Accept-Encoding
headers.

Anyway...IT IS NOT a NetTalk issue!

Thanks y'all!

hectic. I guess some sort of passive test by the server needs to happen so that it's more transparent. It should gracefully drop down to uncompressed, rather than just not work. I'll apply some brain power to that.

as an aside - for others who may end up reading this thread, one problem is old .gz files that have accumulated in the scripts and styles folders along the way. Deleting all the .gz files, then rerunning GzipAll.Bat manually is a good technique when experiencing compression problems.
