Bug #36514 [Com]: ob_gzhandler() issue

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36514&edit=1 ID: 36514 Comment by: roan dot kattouw at gmail dot com Reported by: lunter at interia dot pl Summary: ob_gzhandler() issue Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Output Control Operating System: winXP PHP Version: 5.1.2 Assigned To: mike Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I've analyzed the output of a similar test case (ob_clean() before any output, to clear any warnings) in a hex editor and compared it to gzip -c 's output for the same input. It's quite clear that the ob_gzhandler output is missing the gzip header but is otherwise similar (identical except for the occasional 4-byte block, I'm guessing those are checksums or something). So Mark would seem to be right that the GZIP header gets thrown out by ob_clean() and doesn't come back.
