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.

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

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):

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