I changed httpd.conf like this:
<Directory "C:/Engineering/Projects/XMLTV/XMLTVTestsite">
Options Indexes MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AddType application/xml .xml.gz
AddEncoding gzip .gz
AddType text/xml .xml
AddType text/html .shtml
</Directory>
But FireFox still offers to save the file rather than decompressing
and showing the xml like it does from the original server:
HTTP/1.x 200 OK

Etag: "5b091-13b0-8d04e669"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 5040
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: application/x-gzip
Content-Encoding: gzip
----------------------------------------------------------
With this change:
<Directory "C:/Engineering/Projects/XMLTV/XMLTVTestsite">
Options Indexes MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AddType application/xml .xml.gz
AddType text/xml .xml
AddType text/html .shtml
</Directory>
I get this instead:
HTTP/1.x 200 OK
Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2008 10:41:43 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.54 (Win32) PHP/4.4.7
Last-Modified: Thu, 12 Jun 2008 22:19:30 GMT
Etag: "5b225-1277-8e1f670e"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 4727
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: application/x-gzip
----------------------------------------------------------
With this in place I started looking elsewhere in httpd.conf and found
this line, which I commented out:
AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz
What happened now is that FireFox displays an error message:
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://polaris/xmltv/svt1.svt.se_2008-06-15.xml.gz
Line Number 1, Column 1
and the headers now are:
HTTP/1.x 200 OK

Probably now FireFox does not realize that the data are gzipped
anymore and tries to parse the binary compressed stream, which
obviously fails...
Have to re-enable this directive...
