Package: wwwoffle
Version: 2.9-2
Severity: normal
In this thread, we find out why wwwoffle doesn't propogate
Content-Length headers onto the client:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01979.html
Alas, this is far from ideal (progress meters on browsers are quite
useful for large downloads), and there are many situations in which
the webserver sends a valid content-length, wwwoffle is currently
downloading the page for the first time (so not already cached on
disk)[1], is not modifying the content in any way, and the compression
is going to be the same as the input compression, so we can just reuse
what the webserver sent us in the first place.
Now the post above has patches (rather large ones he admits) to reuse
the Content-Length in this situation. Perhaps we could look into the
patch to find the bit relevant, and include this in debian?
[1] If it's already on disk, it's not like we rely on the
Content-Length anyway, because it's going to be downloaded fast enough
that no-one will care for the absense of a progress meter in a
browser.
