Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.3+git20230121-2.1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Forwarded: https://github.com/tats/w3m/issues/307

When trying to open github.com URLs, w3m gives

  gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

In a comment in the upstream bug, Rene Kita says that the cause is
that "GitHub is ignoring the http/1.0 request and sending an http/1.1
response which w3m cannot parse" and provides a workaround consisting
in using a CGI script that invokes curl on the URL (via site-specific
settings).
