90693 - mozilla gets binary data instead of html from http://www.zantetsuken.com/board/ohrmsgb/

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 86235

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect, P2)

Description

[James Paige]

Build 2001071104 and build 2001071304 on Windows 95

visit http://www.zantetsuken.com/board/ohrmsgb/ which is a message board. The
main page loads okay.

Try to read any post. instead of seeing the post as you do in NS 4.x, IE, and
Lynx, you see a blank page.

I did "file->save as" from Mozilla and saved the blank page to disk, and when i
check it with a hex editor, it was just a glob of binary data.

This happens fo every single post on the board.

I will attach output from one of the posts as an example:

If I 'D'ownload a link to a post in Lynx, it tells me it's saving a file of type
application/x-compress.

In moz (Linux 2001071306), if I remove "compress," from Prefs > Debug >
Networking > Accept-Encoding, the page renders properly.

Why aren't we picking up the content-encoding properly?
