Hi again.To find out exactly what happens on one server (where it does it right) and the other (where it doesn't), you should have a look at the HTTP headers sent in the server response, in one case and the other.
I'll give you what I would use, because I am a perl user, and there is a utility in perl that allows to do just that. But I am sure that there are many other tools available to do the same thing.
1) install perl if you don't have it yet. 2) at the command-line level, enter lwp-request -m GET -Sed "http://server1/.../abc.xml.gz" This will show you the HTTP headers, as sent by the server1. The switches -Sed will prevent the actual content to be shown. 3) enter the same for server2 lwp-request -m GET -Sed "http://server2/.../abc.xml.gz" There should be a difference in the HTTP headers. The difference will tell you (or us) where to start looking.
