Comment #3 on issue 5579 by jamesdaily: Chrome saves xkcd.com/513/index.html as "download" file instead of rendering in browser http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5579
Discussion on this forum suggests the issue may have to do with bzip compression that chrome tries to request. http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=30137 Quote from Dropzone on Fri Nov 07, 2008 12:21 pm UTC: <blockquote>I just tested it in Chrome (on Win XP), and I am getting the same problem as the OP. Currently trying to figure out what's causing it... edit: Another bzip2-related problem? Sending the following request to xkcd.com:80 ... GET /static/general.css HTTP/1.1 Accept-Encoding: bzip2 Host: xkcd.com ...causes the server to give the following response... HTTP/1.1 200 OK Vary: Accept-Encoding Content-Encoding: bzip2 Last-Modified: Tue, 04 Mar 2008 05:54:47 GMT ETag: "-1804180589" Content-Type: text/css Expires: Fri, 07 Nov 2008 13:36:25 GMT Cache-Control: max-age=3600 Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 0 Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:36:25 GMT Server: lighttpd/1.4.13 ...notice the empty message body. Other values for Accept-Encoding (gzip, deflate, or just omitting the header altogether) work fine, and every other page I tried worked fine with Accept-Encoding: bzip2 - it seems to be just that particular combination of Accept-Encoding and page that has a problem.</blockquote> -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
