I wanted to look @ the Javadocs for the Cipher class and tried opening the javadocs hosted on Oracle's website. Firefox failed to display the page mentioning the message
Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
* Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
Why is a browser like Mozilla failing to open a simple JavaDocs page while Internet Explorer 6 is able to open it easily. I would have not been surprised if it was the other way around ;)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the Javadocs page hosted by Oracle http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/
2. Look for the Javadocs page for the Cipher class
Actual Results:
Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
* Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
Expected Results:
Page should have been displayed.

Please use shift+reload if you get the error

Thanks for the info, it works fine. However, I suppose, it could be useful for the end user if this suggestion was given along with the error :).

The server had a short time problem and sent broken data. That got saved in the cache and a normal reload reloads from the cache, a shift+reload throws away the cache for this URL. This shouldn't be a problem if this occurs only one time but some users get this much more frequently.
