1414620 - Firefox at least for Windows does not support local GZIP-compressed SVG files with the extension .svgz

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 52282

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[Tatsunori Uchino]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Build ID: 20171024165158

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to open GZIP-compressed SVG images whose path is like file:///C:/foo/bar/image.svgz in Firefox.


Actual results:

Firefox showed the following error:
[Japanese]
XML パースエラー: 整形式になっていません。
URL: file:///C:/foo/bar/image.svgz
行番号: 1, 列番号: 1:
[correspondent English]
XML Parse Error: not well-formed.
Location: file:///C:/foo/bar/image.svgz
Line Number 1, Colum 1:


Expected results:

The images are successfully rendered.
They does not cause any problems to Chrome and Inkscape.

I think the resolution is to make Firefox recognize local files with the extension .svgz are **GZIP-compressed** SVG images.

This is not a simple duplicate of 52282. Instead it is a duplicate of 157514.


I just tried this today on 61.0.2, loading an svgz file from a file:// style URL and it failed to de-compress before attempting to read the XML content.

This trivial bug has been known about for 16 years!!!!!

bug 157514 is itself a duplicate of bug 52282

Hi Robert, that's incorrect. 1414620 and 157514 are partial duplicates of each other. 52282 is an entirely different (yet somewhat related) bug.
