Description:
------------
When PHP sends back data using the deflate method it incorrectly puts a gzip style header before it.

I sent this request

GET / HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020623 Debian/1.2.5-0.woody.1

with this data (converted to hex format by 'od -x')

The first 10 bytes are a valid gzip header (RFC1952), the following 2 bytes are a valid zlib header (RFC1950), the following bytes are valid deflate data (RFC1951).  The first 10 bytes should not be sent.

Thank you for the report, I fixed it in PHP5 CVS, can you try if this works for you?

Because there can be some browser issues, I think it should be tested with PHP5 before the patch goes into the PHP4 branch.

I don't use PHP myself, so I can't test the new version unless there is a web site that is using it somewhere that I can test my client with.
 [2003-08-28 11:22 UTC] sr@php.net 
It's now fixed in the PHP_4_3 cvs branch, too, so with a new snapshot it should work.

Sorry, I don't know any site to test for you (yet ...).
