--- Begin Message ---Package: htdig Version: 3.2.0b5-4 Severity: wishlist Debian stores most non-HTML docs in gzip-compressed format. Any decent browser handles these transparently. I.e. viewing changelog.Debian.gz works just the same as viewing changelog.Debian.According to /etc/mime.types "Compression schemes like "gzip", "bzip", and "compress" are not actually "mime-types". They are encodings (...)." I.e. if the web server declares that foobar.txt.gz is text/plain, Mozilla will decode it on-the-fly and display it as plain text. htdig should be doing just the same, else a substantial portion of the contents of /doc/ will never be indexed.
