Questions[internet-explorer-7](server)

I've set up apache2 to serve gziped files

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml application/xml application/xhtml+xml text/javascript text/css application/x-javascript application/json
   BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
   BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4.0[678] no-gzip
   BrowserMatch bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
   DeflateCompressionLevel 9
   SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

It works perfectly when I test file on safari or chrome, or event with curl (curl --header 'accept-encoding: gzip' url), but it doesn't seem to work on IE7.

I tested with http://www.webpagetest.org/.

Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks

For some reason since we rolled out IE7 to the estate users are unable to download from the Internet, they get an error message "the operation could not be completed due to restrictions on the computer" I have checked the GPO and it allows downloads in the Default domain policy. I am I missing something in GPO or is this problem with IE7.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

I'm new to WSUS and I'm in the process of setting up a WSUS server. I'm wondering what is meant by the "Windows Internet Explorer 7/8 Dynamic Installer" category under "Under Products And Classifications"? Will this allow me to push out updates for IE 7/8 or will it also push out upgrades from IE6 or IE7 to IE7 or IE8. We're running IE7 at the moment, and want to avoid upgrading to IE8 at this point in time.

We have a series of touch screen workstations located on our production floor. The interface is locked down so that IE7 is the only application running in the foreground, like a kiosk. The problem we have is that the internal web server that IE7 points to sometimes crashes, which after restarting requires that we go to each kiosk and manually reload the page. I would like to either have a custom IE7 error page that comes up once it can't connect to out internal web server that has a 'reload' or 'retry' button, or some way to do this automatically at specific intervals, if possible.

To clarify, I am looking for a way to limit the amount of human sysadmin interaction at each of these workstations when an error occurs connecting to our internal web server. I don't want to have to go to each station, connect a mouse/kb, just so I can hit the reload button and bring the web app back up.

We use client SSL certificates to secure web-based user communications with our web server (the edit site for a SharePoint site). Certificates are generated internally and sent to users to be installed.

Normally we don't have any issues but lately some users have been unable to access the sites while others can authenticate successfully during the same time period and even using the same certificate.

A network packet capture suggests IE isn't always sending the certificate. At this point, uninstalling and reinstalling the certificate corrects the problem--but isn't desirable.
