RE: [squid-users] Noob question about file types

Simplest solution (not that you arent keen!) would be to add the
following to your squid.conf

        request_header_access Accept-Encoding deny all

This will remove those pesky headers that some browsers send.

If the browser indicates it accepts compressed versions, then fails to
decompress you need something to decompress in transit. Simply changing
the filename will result in error pages.

If you are keen you might want to try Squid-3.1 and the brand new
compression eCAP library.
