Re: [squid-users] Blocking gzipped HTML pages

I brought this up only because of a query by my peers asking about the
possibility of people using gzipped HTML pages as a delivery vector
for virii.

My concern with this is that we would very likely end up blocking more
legitimate pages than we would protect ourselves against. My
inclination is not to do this but I wanted to hear from the community
as a whole to see what every one else's opinions were.
