Subject: Failed gzip unzips are not detected; results get ugly.
Kevin Falcone: I sort of figured it out Andy Lester: do tell Kevin Falcone: the gunzipping is failing Kevin Falcone: so decoded_content returns undef Kevin Falcone: and then content just returns the gzip data Kevin Falcone: we're not passing raise_error so we don't get told about it Andy Lester: MWAH! Andy Lester: Thank you Andy Lester: brilliant/. Kevin Falcone: my summmary: Kevin Falcone: that decoded_content needs to kick and scream Andy Lester: mail to bug-www-mechanize@rt.cpan.org Kevin Falcone: sadly, our user needs to take this up with HTTP::Message Andy Lester: so that we can track it. Kevin Falcone: and we should give a way for users to say "never gzip me" Andy Lester: ok. Andy Lester: put aaaall that in the mail Kevin Falcone: yep Andy Lester: even if it's just those two lines Andy Lester: thank you so so so much Andy Lester: now we can make progress Andy Lester: AND Kevin Falcone: I'm getting ready to leave work, but will send something tonight or in the morning on the train. Andy Lester: also mention that we need a way to detect if it's gzipped or not. Andy Lester: ok thanks. Andy Lester: actually Andy Lester: I'll mail it. Kevin Falcone: yeah, detecting gzip *should* be possible Kevin Falcone: well Andy Lester: ok go Andy Lester: i'll go make a ticke.t Kevin Falcone: thanks Kevin Falcone: I'll add comments later
