#1128: GZIP encoding with multiple members

#1128: GZIP encoding with multiple members
--------------------------------------------+-------------------------------
Reporter: zviratko | Type: defect
Status: new | Priority: normal
Milestone: | Component: varnishd
Version: 3.0.0 | Severity: normal
Keywords: gzip encoding multiple streams |
--------------------------------------------+-------------------------------
GZIP RFC allows multiple streams to be concatenated and then decompressed
as one.
Varnish fails in this scenario with:

{{{
FetchError c straight read_error: -1 0 (Junk after gzip data)
}}}

Client is served a 503.

In my case, the data in question is a JSON response made from two chunks,
each compressed in application and served as one response (with correct
headers and length). I confirmed the data is fine, and it works fine in
browsers (apart from chrome/chromium that has a bug here as well).

The only solution around this not serving it compressed to varnish, or
using pipe.

Attached is an example that causes this bug.

Comment:

Yes, the RFC allows it, but none of the web-browsers I examined support
it, so I decided that Varnish should not either.

Comment:

Firefox 11.0 supports it
IE8 supports it
Chrome fails, but I filed them a separate bug, so I hope they will fix it.

you see this for yourself by visiting
http://beta.jobs.cz/firma/a
and using pagination (it fails in chrome rightaway).
But it works in FF and IE without problems.

Please consider fixing it, it is only a matter of time before somebody
else gets hit by this and it is a PITA to find and debug. While I believe
in your KISS approach, it should not hinder bugfixing :-)

That's fine, but then it is a feature request, please add it to one of the
Future_ wiki pages.

Comment:

Listen, I asked you to put it in a Future_ wiki page because I call it a
feature request.

You may feel otherwise, but if I call it a feature request, that it is.
