A while back I found a page somewhere containing some rather amusing IRC quotes. Unfortunately it seems to have vanished.

Right... so why does it have the MIME type text/plain? o_O Probably because it should be in Content-Encoding header. See, most web browsers are capable of gunzipping content - but only if they know it's gzipped, so they look at the Content-Encoding header, and if it's present and says gzip, it decompresses the content. This is perfectly safe, since before receiving content browser lets the server know it accepts compressed pages (by sending Accept-Encoding header), so the server knows it can send compressed content. (Also... how do you know it's ZIP, and not, say, gzip, bz2, RAR, LHA...? I can't see anything that looks like an identifying header in there.) Hmmm... your file tool doesn't know about gzip archives? ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
