IE scrambles script in IIS7 with static compression turned on

Question

I am having issues with javascript files not decompressing in IIS7 and stylesheets not loading properly.

I can fix this issue by turning off Static compression in II

Answer 1

This is qZip decompression fail. Can happen if the Content-Length on the header is not the correct one.

Some times if the page set the Content-Length on the header, and then the web server try to gZip the page, but fail to change the Content-Length - because have been all ready send to the browser.

Possible solutions is to remove the set of Content-Length from your code and let IIS set it, see if you all ready make qZip this files and decide - ether let iis do it for you, ether do it your self.
