if i compile with --with-zlib,
output is zlib compressed (can check if i download page and gunzip) but browser displays binary output. (maybe content-type is wrong ?)

zlib.output_compression is set to OFF (doesnt help)

if i set zlib.output_compression_level = 0

output is readable, but prefixed with binary data

i think the compressed data is the gzlib "dont compress, store only" header.

browser is mozilla 1.1 cvs
doesnt work with ie 6.0 either
 [2002-07-01 16:33 UTC] sr@php.net 
If you use 0 as zlib.ouput_compression_level, the output isn't compressed, but the gzip/deflate headers are added to the output (and the corresponding Content-Encoding header).

Can you check with a phpinfo()-page that zlib.output_compression really is set to "off" (otherwise try setting it to "0")?

I can't reproduce the binary display with your example URL, it works with Mozilla 1.0 and lynx, if I make the HTTP by hand, it displays the correct headers.

zlib.output_compression Off
zlib.output_compression_level 0
(http://cm51-210.liwest.at/info/) -> faulty gzheader is generated


setting output compression to "0" & restarting -> 

in phpinfo, output compression stays "off", 
gzheader is generated again :-(

i dont think that the correct content encoding header is generated ... trying to test that via netcat

Transfer-Encoding / Content-Encoding ????
 [2002-07-02 05:24 UTC] bugzilla at cm51-210 dot liwest dot at 
looks like 

Content-Encoding: gzip

is missing for some pages (?)
 [2002-07-02 13:43 UTC] sr@php.net 
It seems that there are two issues:

1.) Why isn't zlib.output_compression = Off active?
How do you set this? Via Apache-Config or php.ini? ini_set doesn't work for this option, please try setting it in php.ini, maybe there are some things wrong with the Apache2 config handling.

2.) Why does the Content-Encoding-Header vanish if chunked transfer encoding is used by Apache? Maybe this is an Apache 2 issue, too. Is it possible that you try this with Apache 1.3.26 so that we can localize this bug (if it's an Apache 2 thing or a general zlib bug)?

Thank you!
 [2002-07-11 02:50 UTC] bugzilla at cm51-210 dot liwest dot at 
found out that this is a phpWiki bug. they do something 
like: 
 
        if (function_exists('ob_gzhandler')) { 
            ob_start('ob_gzhandler'); 
            $this->_is_compressing_output = true; 
        } 
 
which is imho really bad :-) 
 
thanks anyway for helping me finding the bug.
