HTTP Compression / Mozilla

[Yoeri]

Hello,

I have a problem with an Asp.Net application hosted on a windows 2003 Server. I enabled http compression (static and dynamic compression) and experience the following problem:

When viewing pages with FireFox / Mozilla, I often get the page without styles and with the following characters on the first line: "". When viewing a second time, it sometimes renders like it should.

Does anybody experienced this problem?
What can I do about it? (except turning off http compression)

Thanks

Yoeri

Mozilla et. al. do support HTTP compression. Something you might try is Mozilla Firefox with the Live HTTP headers extension, so you can examine what's being sent to and from the browser (an alternative would be to connect using telnet, and examine the raw I/O).

I'd guess that your webserver is screwing up the http headers somehow.

Looks like FireFox does not take the BASE tag into account, in certain cases.
Only occurs when HTTP compression is active ...

I had the same problem once, but traced it back to delivering the page as 'application/xhtml+xml'.

There were a few extra spaces here or there that were throwing it off... I was using PHP, and it may have been a header problem...
