network transfers

I noticed a couple of pages seem to take longer to transfer data from the server than in Netscape 4.x, could this be an issue with content encodings ? I know Netscape 4.x supports accept-encoding gzip, Opera 6.x supports gzip, deflate, and Mozilla supports gzip, deflate, and compress (with some restriction) by default and the string is configurable. Is the same true of K-Meleon and does it have the same defaults ? If no string is sent then servers will return a MUCH larger uncompressed page which is very noticeable on a dialup connection.

I believe k-meleon accepts the same compressed encodings by default... it seems to be pulling compressed pages off of this server right now, in fact.

Yeah I did some further checking and the problem I noticed seems to be that K-Meleon is processing script tags even though Javascript is disabled. I posted a message about this in the bugs forum.

Watcher,

Better to post an actual bug here:

Not all of the developers are following the posts in the Forums.
