buildbot.net always sending compressed content

Description

http://buildbot.net/ is always sending a compressed response with Content-Encoding: gzip, even if the client doesn't claim to support it, even if the client explicitly says it doesn't support it by sending Accept-Encoding: identity or Accept-Encoding: identity, gzip;q=0. This makes the website inaccessible from browsers that don't support compression.

I think this is because of the caching proxy, but I haven't checked if the same problem happens when logged in. (although if your browser doesn't support gzip, you can't login anyway).

You can check it here, so you don't need to use curl or anything:  http://redbot.org/?uri=http://buildbot.net/trac

Looks like that's fixed, but there are some other problems with the Vary header:

"This response is negotiated, but doesn't have an appropriate Vary header"

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

Even fixed-er now that we're running Trac behind Apache and nginx on the new server.
