What's up with that? IE never has any problem displaying the pages, but
SM won't even show me the source code.
Here's an example, but pretty much any story from the "Editor's Picks"
rubric on the right side of their pages does this:
<http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/drug-testing-welfare-recipients-big-mistake-conservatives-article-1.1734098>
Windows 7 (x64)
SeaMonkey 2.25
That page has 33 HTML and 95 CSS errors. Nevertheless, I was able to
load the page and view it. It looked okay. According to the HTTP
headers, all content encoding involved gzip; and some transfer encoding
was chunked (compressed). Gecko handles both without any problems
(chunked resulting in deflate). However, my preferences are set to load
only images from the same domain as I requested (www.nydailynews.com in
this case). I also have AdBlock Plus and FlashBlock enabled, which
might have blocked some content.
I retried the page allowing all images and disabling AdBlock Plus and
FlashBlock. I still was able to load the page and view it, and it still
looked okay. Again, content encoding involved gzip. Besides chunked
transfer encoding, however, there were a few elements transferred with
binary encoding, all from verisign.com and all related to OCSP
verification of the validity of a site SSL certificate. Since this is
not an HTTPS page, I am not sure why any certificate verification was
performed.
Thanks for your detailed testing and analysis. Not sure how I can use it

different from what I'm doing.
