Binary
When I make a post, sometimes when I hit my back button, I get a white page full of binary garbage. Any ideas why?

Yeah, I had that once and I was able to reproduce during the same session several times by doing a back. Fairly spooky I thought while I was at trying to figure out what was going on Shocked...

I've also seen that before - I suspect it has something to do with IE + the advanced editor screwing up, but I'm not certain.

Is this what you're referring to? I was using the basic editor, not advanced.

Yup, that's it. It was on our forum here, right?

Uh oh - that means it isn't the advanced editor. Frown

Perhaps it's the gzipping messing up (not sending the proper gzip header, perhaps?). In truth, I really have no clue at all where this is coming from.

I think it's a mod_gzip issue, yes. I've seen this on our corporate site a few times and the webhost there use mod_gzip.

However, I nailed it down to a problem with our web cache (Squid) not preserving headers correctly, but I'm not sure. I googled a lot for this and there seemed to be an issue with earlier versions of Squid not preserving headers it didn't understand correctly and one of those being the gzipped header.

I've also witness this issue with mod_gzip as an intermittent problem.

The developers claim the problem is usually confined to IE5+ but suggested clearing any leftover files as defined in the: 'mod_gzip_temp_dir' path then restarting Apache.
