Question : Http dynamic Compression not work if We using text/html

Hi all,

I am working on a web application developed in Delphi 5. Using Windows 2003 OS Service Pack 2 and IE6. For HTTP dynamic compression, I was using the content type text/html. For this type the compression is not at all woking in any IE version. There were no issues, but compression is not happening. I checked this by fidler and ieHTTPHeaders.

When using content type text/plain, the compression is working. But for IE6, the page is not rendered properly and it is showing HTML source code instead of the page. This is working properly for IE 7 and 8. The page is showing correctly for these versions.

My question is, why when I use content type text/html the compression is not working? Please advice.

I will be very grateful to you for your quick response.
