Uhm, looks more like a flash bug than IE one.
In general, any server which respects the http protocol will only send=20
compressed responses when the client declares support for it in the reque=
st.
To disable output compression done by php, you can
- check out the values of output_handler and zlib.output_compression in=20
php.ini file. If you control that file, you should disable both. Or you=20
can use ini_set from within your serever php file.
- verify if http compression is not done by the webserver after the php=20
processing (eg. by mod_deflate for apache)

Not yet, sorry. The reimplemented version of xmlrpc_server_call_method=20
does not honour the $output_options parameter at all.
It might be a nice addition, but I have no time frame for that.
