    Gareth…

    Thanks for this brilliant Add-on (Modify Headers), which has alleviated my problem of compression in Firefox via a 3G broadband link.

    No chance I suppose of something similar for IE7?!?

    If not, perhaps I could trouble you for a suggestion to modify ‘Cache-Control’ to ‘no transform’ in IE7 (?).

    Thanks again.

    Hi Tony,

    I don’t plan on doing something similar for IE 7. But you might be able to find an IE 7 addon that does.

    BTW, feel free to post in a comment a description (or link to it) of how you are using Modify Headers for your compression problem. I use it for mobile web development, but I’m always interested to see the other uses it has.

    Cheers,
    Gareth

    Simple (thanks to you!)

    Firefox > Modify Headers > ‘Add’ > (Name) Cache-Control > (Value) no-transform > Configuration > (check) Always on……

    See: http://www.moreati.org.uk/blog/ (February 28, 2008).

    This solves the problem of compressed data to my laptop, via T-Mobile (UK) 3G broadband link.

    I prefer Firefox over IE7, but the latter sometimes inevitable. There must be a similar solution (can’t find it)!?!

    Cheers,

    Tony
