Summary: Incorrect decompression of gzip-encoded data served by
lighttpd
Product: kio
Version: unspecified
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: http
AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: chase.venters gmail com
Version: (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from: Gentoo Packages
Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.2.2 (Gentoo 4.2.2 p1.0)
OS: Linux
Konqueror 3.5.9 fails to download correct "NZB" files from the website http://binsearch.info/. No error messages are shown or generated, and Konqueror creates a disk file in the location expected and with the name expected. However, the file created is nothing more than a short amount of gibberish and looks nothing like the expected well-formed XML.
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.13 was tested to download these same files correctly. Other browsers and other Firefox versions seem to download the NZB files correctly as well.
I ran a search for "CentOS" with "Maximum age of post" set to "-- show all --" and created an NZB for "Posting barebones VMware image: CentOS 5.1 i386 [00/37] - "CentOS 5.1 i386 noX.rar.nzb" yEnc (1/1)" in both browsers. I will attach the NZB file as created by each browser.
I also made a libpcap capture for each browser to examine the HTTP session. In each case, the server (lighttpd/1.4.19) appears to send identical gzip-encoded data, regardless of which browser makes the request.
