           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.
