It prevented the GZipMiddleware from compressing some data types even on
more recent version of IE where the corresponding bug was fixed.

Thanks Aaron Cannon for the report and Tim Graham for the review.

* The request (the browser) hasn't sent an ``Accept-Encoding`` header
containing ``gzip``.
* The request is from Internet Explorer and the ``Content-Type`` header
contains ``javascript`` or starts with anything other than ``text/``.
We do this to avoid a bug in early versions of IE that caused decompression
not to be performed on certain content types.
You can apply GZip compression to individual views using the
:func:`~django.views.decorators.gzip.gzip_page()` decorator.
