Watching it download, it looks to me that it's downloading the full 3.9 MB, not the compressed 1.1 MB. I think the decompression is happening on the server. My guess of what's happening is that if the browser does not indicate it can handle compressed content (by setting Accept-Encoding: gzip ) , the server decompresses the file. Let me test this by using Curl with and without the Accept-Encoding header. -tk -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
