“run the plugin in half-on mode”… this is not good enough.
There is clearly a bug here: the plugin works fine in “Super” mode when a user is loggen in.
It completely fails to work when a user is not logged in.

Why is it not working?

I’ll see if I can find out how to debug the Apache rules.

I am experiencing the same problem.
Bot not with all browsers.
I have activated Super Cache Compression and it appears to be working fine on MediaTemple’s (gs).

On a Mac (OS X 10.5.7) if I view a cached page with Firefox 3.5 I get the Gzipped version, which is NOT flushed at each request.

If I load the cached page with Safari 4 I get the normal version, which is rendered EACH time.

I am new to WP, but I have found two ways through to the current (category page’s) category:

1) There is a “brute force” method: load all categories with get_categories(), then loop through them and check if each one is the category with is_category(). This is obviously a heavy task given that the information we are looking *should* be readily available.

2) Another method (but I haven’t tested it for stability) is to bring up the $wp_query variable global $wp_query;, if you dump it’s contents you will find out a few different places where it gives you category information:
– the name of the category (ex: “thecategory”)
– the ID of the category (ex: 5)
– the tree of the category (ex: “category/subcategory/thecategory”)
This is good because it gives you the tools to avoid confusion between categories with the same name and/or slug.

Hope this helps!
