Some pages on the new site randomly throw a "Bad data" error and fail to load in WebPositive

Works in other browsers, even on Haiku, so I'm assuming this is a libbnetapi issue.

Nothing in Web+ stdout which gives any hints as to what the issue is.

netlify is sending us broken HTTP.

On redirects, they set the header:

Content-Encoding: gzip

And the payload is:

Redirecting to /community/\r\n

Obviously, this is not a valid gzip stream. Hence it is rejected by libnetapi.

You do not see the problem in other browsers because they completely ignore the redirects. But because of a race condition in our webkit network backend, this doesn't quite work for us.

I will fix the race condition, but it would still be nice to remove that header in cases where the content isn't actually gzip'ed.

Reported to Netlify.

Well the race condition is fixed, so no more visible issues on our side. Closing.
