Does BoostEdge perform compression if the browser uses a proxy?
Yes, if the web proxy complies with the HTTP standard and relays the negotiation of the compression between the web servers and browsers. Important note: Internet Explorer does not always provide compression with a proxy by default. It is essential to check that the “Use HTTP1.1 with proxy” box is checked in Internet Explorer’s “Advanced settings”.
