If you gzip the file manually then grab .html.gz it works fine. If you
look at the headers they do differ, but manually adding or removing
to/from them in PassFile.pm (just above $r->send_http_header) makes no
difference. NN4.7 still stops at a certain spot.
Interestingly though, it always stops at 16384, the same value set in
PassFile.pm as $BUFFERSIZE. Adjusting that variable up or down makes NN
change accordingly. Apparently 4.7 only "sees" the first gzip'ed
"packet".
This little hack lets 4.7 display correctly on Linux and Win95...
