229870 - gzip-encoded word document not ungzipped before sending to word

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 132702

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

(tested with 2003123109 win2k)

The following php script:
<?php
header("Content-Type: application/msword");
header("Content-Encoding: gzip");

readfile("TESTCASE.doc.gz");
?>
(with a gzipped word document TESTCASE.doc.gz. the php script should be named
foo.php.gz)

causes mozilla to not gunzip the file before sending it to word, showing garbage
in it.

bug 57342 will allow fixing this, by always applying the decoding when opening
in a helper app, and not otherwise.

Verified.  I _thought_ I had a bug like that assigned to me.....  Maybe it needs
a better summary?  ;)
