Content Encoding test seems broken

[Jonathan Watt-3]

Hi,

http://www.w3.org/2004/CDF/TestSuite/WICD_CDR_WP1/wicdcore.xhtml#core55

The test WICD Core 1.0 #55-#57 seems to be broken in that it sends:

  Content-Type: application/x-gzip

Sometimes you want to have user agents decompress gzipped resources, and
sometimes you don't. Mozilla does support Content-encoding, and it will
decompress and display content, but only if it has a Content-type that it
recognizes. Since application/x-gzip is not a type that Mozilla displays
directly, the test appears to fail. If you fix things up so the test:

  http://www.w3.org/2004/CDF/TestSuite/WICD_CDR_WP1/test-encoding-gzip.txt.gz

sends:

  Content-type: text/plain
  Content-encoding: gzip

instead of:

  Content-type: application/x-gzip
  Content-encoding: gzip

then Mozilla can tell that the file is text, and will render fine I think.

Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

I got this fixed. The test works just fine in FF now. I also updated  
the matrix. Thank you!
