Re: [PHP] output compression and MSIE
Hi, I'm shocked. It seems it works! However.. My pages without forcing ISO 8559-2 don't look good. What to use instead so? Hi, You could try leaving the line an and add content-encoding headers like this meta http-equiv=content-encoding content=gzip (or an equiv. header() statement) Haven't tried that, but i see a chance that it works properly. Question is, if you let mod_gzip zip your pages, how to know when to send this header-directive. I'm quite sure about that IE is up to making troubles getting unzipped content with that header. regards mario -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] output compression and MSIE
Hello, I've found problem with MSIE showing sometimes blank page when compression is turned on (no matter using zlib.output_compression or gzip handler). I've found that happens when page is =4096 bytes long (output in HTML). And this suggested me to try to change buffer size for compression (for zlib, that I was using) cause it was set to exactly 4KB. But that didn't help at all :-( If I add space characters at the end of output to let page grow ower 4096 bytes - everything works fine, else MSIE shows blank page and user has to hit Refresh button to see correct page. With other browsers that problem doesn't happen. Do you have any idea how to solve that? BTW - changing browser or doing anything with user system is not good idea for me, cause I can't force users of my application to do anything - they use (and will use) windows+IE and so that's my problem to find solution. And output compression is a MUST for me cause I have to cut network traffic to lower users costs of using internet (GPRS transmission using mobile phones).

Re[2]: [PHP] output compression and MSIE
Hello,
Good to see someone else met that feature of MS Internet
Exploder ;)
At really I don't put any headers with content info.
Only headers are:
header ('Last-Modified: '.gmdate(D, d M Y H:i:s).' GMT');
header ('Expires: '.gmdate(D, d M Y H:i:s).' GMT');
header ('Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate');
header ('Pragma: no-cache');
And output is simple HTML. What should I do so? Should I send any
other header to fix that?
And I also spent a lot of time wondering why the hell I get blank page
sometimes?. Especially it was working good on one server and buggy
on another (now I now, another server had compression turned off).

Hello once more,
Tuesday, July 8, 2003, 3:25:31 PM, you wrote:
MO Hello too,
MO Well yes, IE is not that wrong this time (though it changes nothing at all :))
MO Take a look into the head - section of your document, maybe there is
MO some content-encoding sent or your apache config (maybe some default-encoding,
MO not sure about, but's a hint).
My head looks like that - nothing special..
head
LINK href=/css/main.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css
TITLESome title/TITLE
meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-2
script language=JavaScript src=/javascripts/date_picker/date_picker.js/script
/head
And nothing set in Apache.. :-/
MO As mentioned, the bug exactly is, that ie get's a wrong content-type and therefore
MO can't decompress the g-zip stuff. i'd say sending correct g-zip headers may
MO not be wrong at all, though i must say you have to relay on google on more
MO info on that. don't sure about them.
I tried to find something about that with google, but no effects so
far..
MO but why the heck the ie-thingy can decode on a refresh-hit is not logical.
ie is not logical at all ;) And more serious - ie shows correct page
if user click the link to page being a problematic, but redirecting or
moving to such page from form with action option doesn't work and
we have blank page.
MO The 4k-thing is becaus mod_gzip doesn't compress under this size.
I can't agree with you here. I checked with telnet what I get. And I
what I saw was surely zipped content. No matter less or more 4kB page
was. But somehow over 4kB IE understands what to do.
MO (don't get me wrong but in some way i'm happy about someone having the same bug -
MO so the time to figure this one out isn't lost one :) - definitly nothing personal)
Sure, I can say the same ;) Good to have someone to talk to about that
problem. :)
