#20275 [Fbk]: Zlib problem

ID: 20275 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: michal@vrabel.cz Status: Feedback Bug Type: Zlib Related Operating System: Redhat 7.3 PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-11-06 New Comment: You can make libz.so (shared zlib library) by adding -shared flag to the compile line. However, 1.1.3 is fairly recent, so it should be ok to use (that's what I have). Have you tried to verify this bug in other browsers such as Mozilla, IE 6.0, Opera? It may be that you've come across a quirck in your installation of IE 5.5 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-06 12:48:24] michal@vrabel.cz Hi. Sorry. I wrote bad version. I means zlib 1.1.3 which still do that problem. How can i install zlib 1.1.4. When i compile zlib source distribution, zlib.so was not compiled. only zlib.a Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-06 08:29:35] iliaa@php.net zlib 1.0.3 is fairly old, considering that the current version is 1.1.4. Upgrade will definately solve @least 1 security vunreability in zlib and very well may resolve the problem with page compression you are seeing with PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-06 03:15:17] michal@vrabel.cz Hello. I have installed newest STABLE PHP4 and Apache 2.0.40. I have this problem with Zlib version 1.0.3 which is included in PHP4 STABLE. I am using IE 5.5 at Win2k Prof. When i am try open some gzipped page (.php script) i get unreadable code (packed code). But only at some pages. Not at all pages. I am reinstall system and everything is the same. I am not behind the proxy. Can you tell me, if Zlib 1.0.3 have some bug? When i have Apache 1.2.26 and PHP 4.1.2 everything was good. I am dont using global compress. I am active compress in php script by this lines: if (strstr($HTTP_USER_AGENT,'compatible') ) { if (extension_loaded('zlib') ) { ob_start('ob_gzhandler'); } } Thank you.
