Description Olivier Thereaux 2008-04-21 02:26:02 UTC 
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.

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.
