connector.aspx browse window invalid xml response

As a followup, if I goto:

http://domain.com/admin/fckeditor/edito ... 7387483483

...in internet explorer, i get an error that IE 7 cannot download the file... Now, I have dotnet 2.0 running on my server and about 100+ sites using it without incident, so, why is IE trying to DL it and at that, why is the server not parsing and returning it? Perhaps a header issue with the connector?

...in ff3 i get:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://domain.com/admin/fckeditor/edito ... 7387483483

And to to me that is indicative of an encoding issue no?

Thanks for the reply... This isnt a sub-domain though it's an entire domain and we've reset the scripting on it more than once already

I'll give it a go... Seems like an odd solution to the problem... The site was done in Visual Studio with should handle the files properly in UTF-8 (again, the ASP connector works fine so IDK why the dotnet one won't)

No go, same issue

Any other ideas?

YES! You are on the money... There was a compression module added for a 3rd party blog we use in our web.config... Commenting that out fixed the issue

Now, out of curiosity, is there a way to disabled that JUST for fckeditor?

not at all... the compression module was set for BlogEngine.net
