SYMPTOMS
On a Microsoft Windows CE 4.2-based device, Microsoft Internet Explorer may incorrectly display a File Download dialog box instead of a requested Web page when you use an HTTP 1.0 proxy.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because Internet Explorer incorrectly sends &quot;gzip/deflate&quot; as a valid content type. This content type is not handled by all HTTP 1.0 proxies. Therefore, Internet Explorer may receive incorrect data and may display a File Download dialog box instead of the requested Web page.
