Description daniel chapiesky 2008-12-25 06:38:47 UTC
Created attachment 5622 [details]
This is the content saved from the wikipedia request

When searching wikipedia... I wanted to know more about the author "Craig Shaw Gardner" who wrote "The Exploits of Ebenenezum"

Wrather than the wiki page being displayed... my winXP/IE7 client wanted me to save the link when clicked on or directly searched for from the wikipedia main page...

search for "Craig Shaw Gardner"

The content returned is not html but appears to be binary encoded...

I have attached what it was trying to download to me...

Cheers..

After posting the above bug... I saw that the attachment was recognized as gzip compressed mime type...

I then saw the message:

"Attachment is not viewable in your browser because its MIME type (application/x-gzip-compressed) is not one that your browser is able to display."

So my browser does not know gzip compressed....

Doesn't your server unpack it prior to shoving down to my client?
