This happens to me about 90% of the time.  When I go to
http://www.circuitcity.com,  all I see is a bunch of binary garbage, instead of
the page.  None of the page loads correctly.  I used ethereal to take a trace,
and it shows the request/response below.  The server said it was sending gzip
encoding and no body, just headers.  Then it closed the connection.

The same symptom occurs in Windows and MacOS X versions of the browser.

I'm guessing that maybe we running the gzip decoder on some unitialized memory,
or not handling error cases from the gzip decoder directly?  Just a guess.

Content-encoding: gzip

Vary: accept-encoding

Connection: close

Content-Length: 6894

Content-Encoding: gzip


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.circuitcity.com/ in firefox.
2. Garbage appears in the browser window.
3. If the page loaded correctly, try hitting 'reload' until it fails to load
correctly.

Actual Results:  
All I saw was garbled text in the browser window.

Expected Results:  
The page should have loaded correctly with images, etc.
I should have been more clear - when I said:

"The server said it was sending gzip encoding and no body, just headers.  Then
it closed the connection."

I meant that the server sent headers including a Content-Length (6894) and a
Content-Encoding of gzip.  However, it sent no body back to the browser.

The browser then displayed some garbled text where I would expect the html
document to appear.
For the purpose of this trace, I set a proxy in my browser to 127.0.0.1:8080 to
avoid a local web proxy/cache.	The bug occurs regardless of whether I'm going
through the proxy.

The interesting connection starts at frame #41 (GET request on frame 44).
Seeing this on Windows too Mozilla 2005/01/23, and Firefox Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;
U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050220 Firefox/1.0+

This should be in tech evang or core.
OS: Linux → All
I'm seeing this problem too on Mac OS X 10.3.8 on Mozilla 1.8a6 [Mozilla/5.0
(Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050111].

The "Hardware" field on this bug should probably be changed to "All"
At the moment I get only a 302 to close.html which says "We're updating our site
with new products and information. Please check back in a few minutes.".
Hardware: PC → All
I am going to check this a few more times over the next week or two. If I don't
see the problem again and no one else makes a comment that they are still seeing
it I will resolve WFM. No dupes of this bug have been filed, I checked for
circuitcity in the summary and the URL.
