Here is how I answered the same problem in December.

I think that the line of tildes is likely to be the cause of your symptom.
When I go there I see instead:
<example>
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
</example>

Do you have any third-party programs which might be messing
with that area, e.g. something that might be trying to add its own
compression method and corrupting the rest in the process?

Hmm... another possibility might be something which wanted
to make sure that compression was not going to be used
(e.g., in order to be able to scan or filter out stuff without
having to do its own decompression)

It certainly wouldn't hurt to assume that this could be caused by malware
and do all the necessary scans and tests in preparation for removing
such annoyances.

I can't remember how this turned out. (I seem to recall a reply.)

Your Subject: would make me suspect that NIS was the culprit.

This is a long shot but check it out.

Error: Object Expected - Images won't load
My problem is with I.E. 6 and Norton Internet Security, where some images on
a page load and others don't. All are available if you persist in clicking
"show picture" for each image.
It seems that Patch 4.03 for Norton Internet Security causes images loaded
from another server to be blocked by default - HTTP-REFERRER auto-block -
and must be enabled on a SITE BY SITE basis!!! Surely there is another
solution?
