Using an old Red Hat 7.1 Apache server, I first noticed that the
downloaded file, while keeping the same name, was several times
larger than the original. A hex editor confirmed the file had been
decompressed, and a packet sniffer confirmed that the decompression
was taking place on my end, following the transfer. And the server
was indeed sending back the header, "Content-Encoding: gzip."
I think web browsers routinely decompress this stuff, and The QT
folks apparently don't consider it a bug when QNetworkAccessManager
thinks it's a web browser. After a day or so of trial and error, I
found that
QNetworkRequest.RawHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip,deflate")
repressed the behavior, but it seemed a little too squirrelly to me.
I wish the class had some sort of a real switch to control this. I'm
seeing the same behavior with both Qt4 and Qt5.
A possible kludge might be to recompress files that have been
automatically decompressed, in order to keep the rest of Rosegarden
happy.
