Oh ya, I just woke up here, yes XCompress for ISA 2004
(http://www.xcache.com) will solve this issue.  Couple of question:

1) How did you get a compressed response?  Natively, ISA 2004 strips the
request header that "tells" web servers to send compressed response.  So you
shouldn't get a compressed response unless there is a server out there on
overdrive that is compressing everything it returns.

2) So, do you know what server is sending you the response?  Are you in
charge of that server?

Which Toy, the one that trap's exceptions and creates .dmp on ISA?  Or
the
one that restarts Dead ISA Services?

That's exactly what I'm saying.
Take a look at a couple of the log fields: "0x20000000  0x400"
- 0x20000000 == Cache Information.  This value is listed in the help as
"response includes Transfer-Encoding header"
- 0x400 == Error Information.  This resolves to a value of 1024

In order to get around this, you need to:
1. create a URL or Domain Set and populate it with sites that you know
send encoded or compressed content
2. create an access rule that uses those sets and specify NO HTTP
Filtering (leave the defaults).

..or maybe Wayne's toy can help?

Must
Read 
All
Of 
Article...

Note When an HTTP filter configuration contains signature or execution
matching, and the response is encoded, ISA Server 2004 sends an error
page instead of the original response. In the error page, we specify
that the response was rejected by an HTTP filter. The "Filter Info" log
field contains the following message:

Blocked by the HTTP security filter: the response content is encoded and
cannot be scanned.

If ISA Server 2004 removes the "Accept-Encoding" header, but the server
still returns encoded content, then ISA Server 2004 blocks such
responses.

IOW, if the server insists on sending encoded content even when ISA
strips the accept-encoding header, ISA blocks it.

You'll need to get a capture of this event to verify that this is what's
happening.

Subject: [isalist] Wierd HTTP Filter Message - ISA 2004


http://www.ISAserver.org


Got a user accessing a perfectly good hotel site (he's the conference
manager, not ya normal user browsing for sun, sea, sand and xxx)....
Anyway I digress, so on the site the Conference Manager can view a
report for on of our conferences that tells him which of our customers
has booked a room in the hotel and basically gets a website saying that
ISA blocked the site because of the HTTP filter.

I have checked the logs and found the following error message: 

Blocked by the HTTP security filter: the response content is encoded and
cannot be scanned

Error number is 0xd80

The URL is fairly long also

How can I allow access to this site, and also bypass this message?
