Description Ville Lindfors 2003-11-17 13:22:06 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5)
Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tux-2.2.4-1, kernel-2.4.9-e.25

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add content
2. gzip the content
3. request content $ curl -I http://host/file.html
4. request with accept encoding curl -I -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip"
http://host/file.html
    

Actual Results:  * Without accept encoding *

$ curl -I http://host/file.html
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html
Connection: Keep-Alive
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 12:58:04 GMT
Server: TUX/2.0 (Linux)
Content-Length: 5214
ETag: "5214-dpkjacpd"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Last-Modified: Wed, 05 Nov 2003 14:02:27 GMT

* With accept encoding *

$ curl -I -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" http://host/file.html
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html
Connection: Keep-Alive
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 12:58:09 GMT
Content-Encoding: gzip
Server: TUX/2.0 (Linux)
Content-Length: 5214
ETag: "5214-dpkjacpd"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Last-Modified: Wed, 05 Nov 2003 14:02:27 GMT

Gzipped content is server and content length is less than 5214 bytes,
but the header says that content length is 5214 bytes


Expected Results:  Content-length must indicate the length of
compressed data

patch against tux patch itself

Fixes Content-Length problem for gzipped content
Comment 2 Ville Lindfors 2004-05-16 19:49:39 UTC 
Patch is actually against latest tux patch found in RHEL 3.0 kernel
rpm. If needed I can also sen patch against latest 2.1 kernel, but it
should be quite straight forward thing to do.
Comment 4 Ingo Molnar 2004-08-21 07:03:47 UTC 
ok, patch queued up for inclusion into RHEL3.
Comment 5 Ernie Petrides 2004-09-11 05:17:14 UTC 
A fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U4
patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-20.5.EL).
