Hmm, I've been running a separate webserver that has a rule that says "only gzip for non-IE6 browsers" without issue, so maybe it's been fixed in Opera and Firefox (and other mainstream browsers), but not IE6.

Well, I will retest it with modern browsers.

Anyway, is there any possible way to disable gzip based on user agent via some directive?

Now - not. However, I will add something in 0.6.19 or so.

Flash in any browser does not understand gzipping and this is well known fact, at least for me :). I developed mod_deflate for Apache 1.3 long ago and had documented this here (in Russian):

http://sysoev.ru/mod_deflate/readme.html#types http://sysoev.ru/mod_deflate/readme.html#browsers

So the single way is disable gzip in locations which are requested from Flash. It is not depeneded on browser.
