The workaround
acceptsGzip := ( @Contains( @GetHTTPHeader( "Accept-Encoding" ) ; "gzip" ) );
{<script src="/} + @WebDbName +
@If( acceptsGzip ; "/gz/mootools.js" ; "/lib/mootools.js" ) + {"></script>}

Serving Gzipped content - Test for browser-support
In the newest version of the CMS I'm working on/maintaining, a couple of customers got strange errors. The culprit was that for some reason or other, their browser didn't accept gzipped content.
acceptsGzip := ( @Contains( @GetHTTPHeader( "Accept-Encoding" ) ; "gzip" ) );
{<script src="/} + @WebDbName +
@If( acceptsGzip ; "/gz/mootools.js" ; "/lib/mootools.js" ) + {"></script>}
acceptsGzip := ( @Contains( @GetHTTPHeader( "Accept-Encoding" ) ; "gzip" ) );
{<script src="/} + @WebDbName +
@If( acceptsGzip ; "/gz/mootools.js" ; "/lib/mootools.js" ) + {"></script>}

Hi,
We recenty had some problems with serving gzipped content to users using Internet Explorer 6. Altough IE6 says it supports gzip, it (sometimes) doesn't decode it correctly. Seems to be a bug/ feature: search Google and you'll find lots of users with the same problems.
That's why we've also included a IE6 check. Use the non-gzipped version if:
(@LowerCase(@BrowserInfo("BrowserType"))="microsoft") & (@BrowserInfo("Version")=6)
