This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In current checklink code: my $ce = $response->header('Content-Encoding'); ... elsif (defined($ce) && $ce ne 'identity') { # @@@ We could maybe handle gzip... $failed_reason = "Content-Encoding for <$request_uri> is '$ce'"; } Indeed, we could handle gzip. Recording this as an RFE.
Done in CVS, will be in 4.4. http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/perl/modules/W3C/LinkChecker/bin/checklink.diff?r1=4.98&r2=4.99
I'm wondering when this will his the production site? it still crashes on this http://browserspy.dk/gzip.php?css=1&x.css http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fbrowserspy.dk%2Fgzip.php%3Fcss%3D1%26x.css&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=1&lang=en "Servlet has thrown exception:javax.servlet.ServletException: Timed out"
The URL you posted points to the CSS validator, this bug is about the link checker. The link checker fix is not in production yet though, but I suppose it won't take too long any more for it to make it there.
In production now.
