From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: httpd-2.0.48-1.2 php-4.3.4-1.1 vbulletin software used, gzip enabled Happens when apache is reloaded Gzip compression turns itself always on when it's supposed to only be on on browsers that suppport it. What happens is when you request the site, even using wget from the command line, it sends the output in gzip format which obviously it saves index.html as a bunch of garbage. Under normal circumstances this wouldn't happen. If we restart the httpd server it fixes the problem. If we reload the httpd server the problem comes back. It seems to fix it we have to stop the server (and wait until all the processes are stopped), then start it. Now for browsers that support gzip all the way the clients don't notice it on the site, but for those who don't and those who are using proxy servers they can't view the site at all unless the 'bug' is fixed by the restart. We also noticed that sometimes a reload of httpd will cause the server to stop working but on rare occasions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): httpd-2.0.48-1.2 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. reload apache 2. request url with gzip enabled and see output (wget) 3. restart apache 4. request url with gzip enabled and see output (wget) Actual Results: wget -d -s http://www.hostraiders.com DEBUG output created by Wget 1.8.2 on linux-gnu. --11:10:10-- http://www.hostraiders.com/ => `index.html' Resolving www.hostraiders.com... done.

Expected Results: I can't reproduce it right now because it's a production server but next time it comes up I will (if i can) add to this post. Additional info:
