Disable GZIP compression for IE6 clients

问题:

We need to conditionally disable GZIP compression if user's browser is IE6 (it hangs browser for 5min) in few pages of larger site. Server is IIS7 and has compression for static content turned on - want that compression left working if user agent is not Mozilla/4.0. ASPX code sample anyone? Alternatively, code to conditionally redirect to the same page on another site (could create another virtual site with compression disabled) but need to pass all parameters (GET/POST).

Check out this page. I believe ISAPI rewrite is available for IIS as well. Basically, it takes the browser's request and rewrites it to stop claiming the browser supports gzip, in the case of IE5/IE6.

Take note: this does not require you to have separate gzipped and non-gzipped pages. This is probably a better approach than your proposal, since it cuts the problem at its source.
