ToolkitScriptManager is compressing ScriptResource.axd responses, using gzip, whether or not the client accepts this encoding.
I have replicated this in IE8, by turning off the "Use HTTP 1.1" option. This does not send an "Accept-Encoding" header and with not uncompress gzipped content.
The browser shows several javascript errors, the first being "Invalid character" in ScriptResource.axd; following by "'Sys' is undefined".
I'm using the ToolkitScriptManager from version 3.5.40412.2 of AJAXControlToolkit.dll.
I have verified that the standard ASP.Net version (ScriptManager) only gzips ScriptResource.axd if the client accepts compressed content.
Comments: Starting with the v15.1 release, we have removed the ToolkitScriptManager due to various issues it caused. So, the described error no longer exists.
