Description David Dick 2008-04-03 04:28:20 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

When you access a site that serves data as 'Content-Encoding: deflate' such as http://david.fullrecall.com/browser-http-compression-test?compression=deflate-http konqueror fails to decompress it, unlike other browsers such as Firefox and Opera. http://www.mail-archive.com/libwww%40perl.org/msg04150.html explains that there are two "in the wild" possibilities for deflate compression, one using checksums (which is the "correct" http version contained in rfc1950) and one not using checksums (which konqueror uses and is the zlib implementation in rfc1951).  Both need to be supported by browsers that advertise deflate support, or at the least, the "correct" version.

SVN commit 958902 by dfaure:

Cool, more testcases for deflate and gzip compression.
They all work fine in current KDE (the fix will be released in 4.3)  (see bug 117683)
