Brokenness exists at many fronts, both servers and clients. Only Squid
is right ;-)

In this case the issue was the server, and triggered by Squid. The far
most common case.. servers not sending correct ETag headers. We already
have a workaround implemented for Apache mod_deflate & mod_gzip (both
broken), but wikimedia is using another server so our workaround doesn't
trigger there.

Firefox has full support for gzip so the problem won't be noticed
there..

But using this to promote open source browsers isn't a bad thing.
