I dont have much idea abt proxies. So please clear the scene for me.
The 2 options that you provided:
1) default: responses to the proxied requests are not compressed at all:
gzip_proxied off;
It is the safe option, right. If the user is behind a proxy dont use gzip.
Seems fair enough.
2) to allow to cache correctly compressed responses (modern Squids):
gzip_proxied on;
gzip_vary on;
Now will this work on every condition for all users no matter how their
proxy has been configured.
Thanks,
Rakesh.

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;
