I have updated my version to 0.6.25(latest).

I have a question though. Will it work for users behind a proxy server with caching enabled.

Suppose at first an user using firefox sends a request for a static page test.html. Now when another user with IE6 tries to access the same page, then will the proxy server fetch the uncompressed version or just serve from cache.

If what I am thinking is true, what is the best possible way to handle this.(keep the gzip flag OFF?)

There are two ways to work with proxies:

1) default: responses to the proxied requests are not compressed at all: gzip_proxied off;

2) to allow to cache correctly compressed responses (modern Squids): gzip_proxied on; gzip_vary on;
