Hello.

I was downloading an image which was gzip compressed by the server but the WWW::Mech did not decompress it.
Usually it does but not from this particular site.

Here is an example program which will get the image from that particular site and write the content to 'picture.jpg'. I checked it with Ethereal and what gets written to the file is the gzipped content and not the uncompressed jpg picture.

I am using the latest version of WWW::Mechanize 1.26


#!/usr/bin/perl

use WWW::Mechanize;

$mech = new WWW::Mechanize;
$mech->get('http://www.livevideo.com/iv.ashx?c=0EE8DC32A0A5454A824427376239BE6619', ':content_file' => 'picture.jpg');
