note 68034 added to function.ob-gzhandler

According to the manual, if ob_gzhander detects that the browser is unable to support deflate or gzip it returns FALSE. Does this mean that if you use ob_start("ob_gzhandler"), any browsers that do not support gzip/deflate will receive a blank page? I've been having problems with IE6 displaying gzipped pages and adding a test: <?php if (substr_count($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); else ob_start(); ?> solved the problem. Surely if ob_gzhandler detects a lack of support for deflation it should return the input unchanged and not FALSE? ---- Server IP: 85.116.0.130 Probable Submitter: 80.3.0.40 (proxied: 86.31.155.186) ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-gzhandler.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/68034 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68034/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68034/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68034/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68034/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68034/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68034/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68034 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/68034 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
