--Apple-Mail-3-825816077 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Hello, I would seem that your web server is sometimes sending gzipped files to web clients, even when the client hasn't claimed to be able to receive/display that type of content. We recently made a change in OmniWeb and removed our gzip decoding plugin because of some issues it was causing. As a result, we no longer send in our headers that we can receive gzip encoded files. However, your server is still delivering these files from time to time (more often than not). For example, when trying to fetch the following page yesterday I was having no trouble: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/ Upon trying it again today, I could no longer view the page because all of a sudden the server was sending it encoded with gzip. When I tried a few minutes later, it was fine again. A little while after that it was again sending gzipped files. Just now I was able to view the page again.
