gzip/deflate has not been added to squid properly. There was work done a
long while ago and not completed.
thanks. but sorry to hear that.
2.6+ and 3.1+ are capable of properly handling broken servers
producing chunked-encoding data.
what's this Amos? can you give me the more detailed description? thanks.
I don't know that much about it myself sorry.
I do know its one of the encoding methods used in HTTP/1.1 that servers
are only supposed to send to 1.1 clients. Many broken software do send
it to squid anyway though.
