gzip encoding module now uses Content-Encoding header to sign that the page uses gzip encoding. Mozilla doesn't handle this 100% good (it saves it as zipped, which is not exactly expected behaviour) and they claim Transfer-Encoding is the right header to use for in-transfer encoding. See: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51852 So, the question is: shouldn't PHP indeed use Transfer-Encoding instead of Content-Encoding? -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.115
