I try to enable compression in script resource handler in web.config file. Analyzing the network traffic I discover that this works fine under Opera, Mozilla Firefox, IE7 but don't work under IE6. Detailed description of this problem is on http://nmarian.blogspot.com/2007/08/aspnet-ajax-script-compression-dont.html

Can anybody explain this?

See Remarks section on following page: http://asp.net/ajax/documentation/live/mref/T_System_Web_Handlers_ScriptResourceHandler.aspx

ScottGu has commented that it's because some versions of IE6 have bug where they don't handle gzip script file correctly. Therefore they have disabled script compesssion for IE 6. In previous link to docs there's explained how you can enable it, however at your own risk.
