Application: Haiku-launcher package and Webkit, as downloaded from pulkomandy's blog link: ​http://www.haiku-os.org/blog/pulkomandy/2013-10-18_webkit_weekly_report_4

When visiting webmailcluster.perfora.net, and trying to execute the login page, HaikuLauncher stops and dispatches the following error:

MESSAGE https://email.1and1.com/ox6/ox.html#session=b3fe7103c8414b90a5320205b27b3d8e&store=true:28 ReferenceError: Can't find variable: initAll

The last portion of the log output was captured to a file. See attached file (haiku_launcher_log_output.txt)

It may not be fair to expect the developers to track this one down. I don't think 1and1.com has a free account offering, and it would probably require a login to step through the app in order to pinpoint the problem. Am I correct? So, maybe this is just an FYI ticket for future reference (until a point when maybe I can debug it with my own account eventually)

Hi, From a quick look at the log, the first and most obvious problem is that the website sends gzipped javascript code. We don't have support for compressed HTTP yet, so this won't work.

Ideally the web server should detect that we can't handle that and unpack the data itself, but I'll be adding the feature to our network code anyway, as it makes everything download faster.

Sounds like it'll be an easy fix, when the overall compression scheme is added eventually. Thanks!

Please try again with hrev46849 or later. We now support gzipped data.

Looks like that's got it! Thanks!
