I'm the author of the web server. The compression is a new experimental feature. Firefox works with this, but konqueror does not. And I started this discussion, because I want to know, who is wrong. I'm not quite sure.
There are different encodings: gzip and deflate. Gzip has a gzip-header and deflate has not. That's how kio_http is coded (or at least tried). The specs are not that clear, if I need a (different) header for deflate.
The webserver tells to use deflate, but not gzip. I have not implemented gzip yet (and until now I don't know, why I should - gzip looks like deflate with a header and CRC, which bloats the body, what I try to optimize). I think, that it would be broken, if tntnet would tell to use gzip and not to send gzip-headers and CRC, but tntnet tells to use deflate.
