The older Squids are running 2.5-STABLE10 and the newer ones 2.5-STABLE12. The back-end servers are IIS6 using gzip and deflate. I would think that Squid would store and forward the compressed content but nope. Maybe it doesn't apply to accelerated content? I'll check the logs and see if I can get more details.

I just tested Squid (2.5STABLE7) as a proxy (not an accelerator) and validated the former. What version of Squid are you using? What are you using as the back-end (apache, IIS, etc.)? What is the compression method (mod_gzip, pipeboost, etc.)? Chris
