254183 - SSL / mod_gzip incompatibility

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Kevin Cooke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040707

I had a lot of reports from dial-up users that our SSL site wasn't working with
Mozilla in Windows 98.  I disabled mod_gzip compression on the server, and
everything worked as expected.

I'm sorry I don't have a URL to show as an example - you'd need to find an
SSL-encrypted page that was also compressed with mod_gzip.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a server with mod_gzip and SSL 
2. Open any page
3. Watch the garbage spew (sometimes causes a hard crash, too)



Expected Results:  
It should have rendered the page as every other browser does!

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
