           Summary: gzipped content is downloaded instead of displayed
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 526+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
               URL: http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal/_darcs/patches/2008032513
                    4032-6871e-ab0ed6eb5a7829cf978313d2e2b20074bdd15982.gz
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs

Safari 3.1 and the latest WebKit nightly download gzipped text/plain content
instead of displaying it. For example, 

http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal/_darcs/patches/20080325134032-6871e-ab0ed6eb5a7829cf978313d2e2b20074bdd15982.gz

is a gzipped plain text file which Apache serves as follows:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 14:15:24 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian)
Last-Modified: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 13:29:59 GMT
ETag: "610e8b-a7-f2eb03c0"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 167
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Encoding: x-gzip

WebKit doesn't display this file, instead it is downloaded. Firefox is happy to
display it. WebKit should be able to work out that since the content is
text/plain, it could ungzip and display it.
