Description Jakub Jelinek 2007-12-04 18:19:02 UTC

Most probably since RH bugzilla added gzip compression some bugs show up
complete garbage in all elinks versions I (and dkl) have tried (some FC5ish
running on RHEL3, F7, F8).
E.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=407301
or 407281 or 406931 show this, while e.g. 405961 doesn't exhibit this problem.

If I \ to view page source, it always starts as valid HTML, but from some point
(in one case e.g. 7314 bytes) it contains till the end random bytes.

It occurs even with the latest upstream GIT snapshot. I will try to find out
where is the problem.

Comment 2 Ondrej Vasik 2007-12-11 12:44:01 UTC

Just a bit more informations: Garbage is returned for Transfer-Encoding: chunked
 and Content-Encoding: gzip . First chunk is ok, but rest is corrupted.

Comment 3 Ondrej Vasik 2008-02-20 15:13:37 UTC

Problem was recently fixed by upstream in unstable 0.12
(http://elinks.or.cz/download/elinks-current-unstable.tar.bz2) GIT branch. Will
try to backport the fix to Fedora (with elinks 0.11.4rc0).

Comment 4 Ondrej Vasik 2008-02-21 13:38:57 UTC

Backported and built as elinks-0.11.4-0.3.rc0.fc9. Seems to fix the problem
properly, closing RAWHIDE, feel free to reopen the bug or leave a comment if it
doesn't solve your issue.
