Yes, you are probably right. I just didn't think anyone would actually configure a proxy to deliver the un-gzipped result to the client. That sounds like a way to break all kinds of things! I'll ask around here to see if this is the case. I don't have direct control over the server where the repo is, but I might be able to convince the admins that it's a bad idea to put Content-Encoding into reponses. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: [email protected] jabber: [email protected] twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
