Re: ob_gzhandler broken

Hmm, interesting, both compressions use the same code to verify if compression will be accepted....could you try cvs version since some changes were committed just lately? regards marcus At 22:42 22.08.2002, you wrote:

There are two mechanisms for compressing output in PHP. One is broke. The other works fine. You will see that phorum.org is now using the one that works. For the dev list: ob_gzhandler does do what this email says. zlib.output_compression does not. i would submit this to the bug list, but it seems that there are already several bugs about ob_gzhandler and that the general feeling is that it needs to be canned.
