#30507 [Opn->Fbk]: Content-Encoding header is not set

ID: 30507 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: webmaster at ex-centris dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Zlib Related Operating System: RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 PHP Version: 5.0.2 New Comment: Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-21 02:44:24] webmaster at ex-centris dot com Description: ------------ I enabled automatic gzip compression with the following line in php.ini: zlib.output_compression = on The problem is that the Content-Encoding header does not get set at all in the response. Therefore, a browser that advertises itself as supporting gzip compression (Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate) receives compressed content but does not know it is compressed. If I manually add the following to my script: header("Content-Encoding: gzip"); ... it then works. This was tried in the Safari and Firefox clients on Mac OS X. Server is RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 running kernel 2.4.21-20. PHP 5.0.2 running as a module of Apache2 2.0.46. If you need other details do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. P.S. Even though I compiled PHP with: ./configure --with-apxs2 --with-mysql --with-zlib if I call phpinfo, here what it shows: ./configure --with-apxs2 --with-mysql Reproduce code: --------------- <?php print 'Here is some output !!!'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Here is some output !!! Actual result: -------------- ??H-JU?,V(??MU?/-)(-QPTT???D?M ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30507&edit=1
