Hi, I have been having some trouble fetching a zip or gzip file with Google App Engine. I kept getting this exception:
java.io.IOException: Could not fetch URL: http://path_to_my_file?format=zip > at > com.google.appengine.api.urlfetch.URLFetchServiceImpl.convertApplicationException(URLFetchServiceImpl.java:115) > at > com.google.appengine.api.urlfetch.URLFetchServiceImpl.fetch(URLFetchServiceImpl.java:42) > at > com.google.apphosting.utils.security.urlfetch.URLFetchServiceStreamHandler$Connection.fetchResponse(URLFetchServiceStreamHandler.java:418) > at > com.google.apphosting.utils.security.urlfetch.URLFetchServiceStreamHandler$Connection.getInputStream(URLFetchServiceStreamHandler.java:297) > at java.net.URL.openStream(URL.java:1029) > I could fetch other files from the same domain so I dug in a bit further. I noticed that our PHP code was setting the following headers for a zip file: $headers = array('Content-Type: application/zip', > 'Content-Encoding: identity', > 'Content-Length: ' . filesize($theFile), > 'Cache-Control: store', > 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . > basename($theFile)); > If I remove the Content-Encoding header I can fetch the file with Google App Engine. This header only seems to affect Zip or Gzip files. It does not seem to matter if it is present or not for text files. Anyone know why the Content-Encoding header was causing the above exception?
