The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

ISA 2004 Alert question

Asked by CALAOMS in MS Forefront-ISA, Windows Networking, Windows Network Security

Tags: , ,

I am somewhat challenged when it comes to ISA.  I have a good basic understanding, and have created the few additional rules that allow my internal clients to access the resources that they need on the Internet.  However I havent a clue as to what to do with the following Alert that I have been receiving lately.

"Description: ISA Server was unable to decompress a response body from /DSS/Query?version=2&client_ver=2.5.0.6173&client_type=IEPlugin&locale=en-us&aff_id=534&suite=false&premium=false&os_ver=5.1&ty because the response was compressed by the UTF-8 method, which is not supported by ISA Server. This happens when a Web server is configured to supply responses compressed by the UTF-8 method regardless of the type of compression requested.

If you want ISA Server to block such responses, configure the policy rule's HTTP policy to block the Content-Encoding header in responses. Otherwise, such responses will be forwarded without decompression to the client and can be cached.

You can cancel or reduce the frequency of the alert generated by this event in ISA Server Management".

The alert category is "Other", so I do not believe it to be a security issue.  However, I am not sure if I should just ignore this alert, or should I configure ISA Server to block the response as described in the alert?  By the way, I receive a similar alert, except that it contains /DSS/Ping as opposed to /DSS/Query.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
