title: IIS 7 GZIP compression and Content Encoding Error
body: <p>I am having a small problem with my MVC 3 application. The server has GZIP compression functionality and it works great. However, from to time, we place folder with static html pages in the root of our application: /somefolder/index.html and for some reason when I navigate to this URL first time (uncompressed) it shows the page fine, but next time it comes up with an error in the browser saying "Content Encoding Error" like here:</p>

  <p>Does anyone know how to fix this? Do I need to exclude html files from compression? This folder is out of MVC3 framework, so maybe adding a route to it, or ignoring this path will fix it? Please advise, Thanks.</p>
