Re: [elinks-dev] chunked gzip fails again
Witold Filipczyk wite...@poczta.onet.pl writes: Sorry, but the server sends in header: Content-Encoding: gzip, but the first chunk is not compressed. You're right. I suppose we should (1) try to get the server bug fixed and (2) implement some workaround in ELinks. For (1), it would be good to know whether the bug is caused by some local configuration at www.eweek.com, or also present in the standard Apache 1.3.37 distribution. However, the response headers don't list any extra modules, and I don't see any bug-reporting address at the eWEEK or Ziff Davis Enterprise web sites where we could ask how they have configured their server. Perhaps someone at Apache might remember such a bug? For (2), ELinks should preferably detect decompression errors and blacklist the server and retry without Accept-Encoding (if the connection is retryable). Until that is implemented, it seems best to set protocol.http.compression = 0 by default. pgpzteNhInjmL.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ elinks-dev mailing list elinks-dev@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-dev
[elinks-dev] chunked gzip fails again
http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Desktops-and-Notebooks/Intel-Psion-End-Dispute-Concerning-Netbook-Trademark-288875/ elinks-0.12 (cde4a2f7b3f2c62ae161b39dd391bbddfd4d3857) --no-home --no-connect at this site results in a 9-byte body.

So, it seems there's still something wrong with chunked gzip, unfortunately. ELinks 0.10.6, 0.11.0, and 0.11.5 display the beginning of the page OK, but the end is garbage. pgpojrVh7I0Fc.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ elinks-dev mailing list elinks-dev@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-dev
