299453 - In "Page Info" Content-Encoding: type and uncompressed size of a page are missing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 121616

(SeaMonkey :: Page Info, enhancement)

Description

[A.D.F.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050604
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050604

When a web page is compressed (i.e. Content-Encoding: gzip), Mozilla shows only
the compressed size (without saying if it is or not compressed), whereas MSIE
5..x, 6.x show only the uncompressed size.
I guess that it would be useful to know both sizes (compressed and uncompressed)
or at least if the page is in a compressed format (gzip, compress, etc.).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load http://slashdot.org/ (or another site that sends gzipped web pages)
2. open Page Info dialog: View->Page Info (CTRL-I)
3. go to "General" tab and see there is no info about the Content-Encoding:

Actual Results:  
No indication whether the page is or is not compressed.

Expected Results:  
Show the value of Content-Encoding HTTP header and, maybe, the size of
uncompressed page too.

I can reproduce this bug with the build above.

Duplicate of bug 121616?

Maybe half duplicated, because I explicitly said that Content-Encoding is missing.
I think that the excuse about "NS-4 did not support Content-Encoding (in
Page-Info, etc.) so we don't too", cannot be accepted anymore as far as Mozilla
is approaching version 2.0;  after all Content-Encoding is a property of the
content.
Talking about the expanded size, well, I think it would suffice to add a "Total
Size (bytes)" to the "View Page Source" window.

Content-Encoding being a property of the content means that the "content size" is the compressed size, for what it's worth.
