I tried the first page that you had a problem with (http://archive.neotonic.com/archive) and I got back uncompressed data with a 404 (URL not found) message. This could be due to differences in the outgoing headers, perhaps the User-Agent or the Cookie. This is one of the reasons that tracking down these problems is difficult, it isn't always repeatable depending on the exact details. Outgoing request: GET /archive HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: WWWOFFLE/2.8 (http://www.gedanken.demon.co.uk/wwwoffle/) Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,video/x-mng,image/png,image/jpeg,image/gif;q=0.2,text/css,*/*;q=0.1 Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1, utf-8;q=0.66, *;q=0.66 Keep-Alive: 300 Host: archive.neotonic.com Connection: close Referer: http://archive.neotonic.com/ Accept-Encoding: x-gzip; q=1.0, gzip; q=1.0, x-deflate; q=0.9, deflate; q=0.9, identity; q=0.1 TE: chunked Incoming Reply: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2003 06:58:44 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6h Connection: close Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 If you do report any sites that cannot be accessed with WWWOFFLE because of compression problems then I need to have all of the headers that are sent and received. The best way to do this is to run WWWOFFLE with debugging enabled (see the last question in the FAQ) and use the highest level of debugging '-d 6'. This will also print out the hex values of the first 16 bytes of compressed data. -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
