Hello! There has been a bug report (#16109) about a bug in Netscape 4.79, which doesn't display images if Content-Encoding: gzip is used. After thinking about a browser detection config flag for zlib.output compression, at LinuxTag we discussed, that a more general solution would be better, that means switching off output compression for images and let it be possible to switch it off (or force it on) during script execution.
I would suggest turn off compression for image. As you already know, turning on and off by header(mime-type) does not work always, thus it's confusing. -- Yasuo Ohgaki
