Thank you, John-Mark; I confirm it does.

A good opportunity to thank the whole NS team again, too!

NetSurf is configured to use 'No proxy'. Is it possible that my ISP
connects via a proxy, without my knowledge?

Most likely because you're fetching it through a proxy server which
fixes the brokenness. Certainly, there's no reason for r13077 to work
any better than later versions in this respect.

In that case, why does r13077 have no problem with the site?

The site responds with a gzip-encoded stream containing trailing
garbage. This causes the HTTP library we use to complain with the
message you see. r13129 contains an egregious hack around the problem
which should make it work as well as can be expected.

Here it does the crash with r13124 and RISC OS 4.02.

Here, using NetSurf r13077, running on RO 6.20, there is no error, and
the page is displayed, more or less correctly. However, for reasons not
understood, NetSurf decided to re-scan the fonts before loading (NetSurf
was not running, when I double-clicked the URL).

I get the same message. The page has 33 validation errors, but NS 
should make the best of it rather than barf at it. The page renders in 
Oregano 1.10 though not with the intended formatting.

It is a nuisance that in this situation you can't shift-drag or 
ctrl-drag the URL, although you can copy it to the clipboard.

is this a bug or a site source error?

(I hope I've copied that out correctly; I can't seem to drag it out of
NS.)

I get a warning from NetSurf: "Error while processing content unencoding:
invalid code lengths set"

Is this a bug in NetSurf, or is it an error in the site's source
code?  If it's a bug, I will happily report it.

 Bug! The last two data cells should, by the way, have an end tag - but
this doesn't make any difference to the rendering.

Hi Folks,

Can anyone confirm that there seems to be a bug in the Netsurf table
handling.

http://www.zen57462.zen.co.uk/test.htm

The row background colour is not carried across to the last four cells
of the table.
