Bug 25854 – [GTK] Should tell servers we only support identity as content encoding

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Gustavo Noronha (kov)]

Some servers assume clients can handle content encodings such as gzip. This is something I intended to fix some time ago, but got distracted and forgot. I was reminded by a bug report in the Debian package: http://bugs.debian.org/529271.

r=me. But please do file a separate (tracking) bug for a proper content-encoding support in webkitgtk/libsoup so we don't forget about it.

It points to the GNOME bug, and to this one.
