“cannot decode raw data” - Safari (3.1) can’t open the page..

Hi all,

I've been experiencing continuing issues with the Safari browser (3.1). I have emptied cache and reset safari, but to no avail!

Every time i try to load certain web pages, ie. eBay, You Tube, i receive the following message:

+Safari can’t open the page “ http://k2b-bulk.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dl?MyEbaySellingActiveListings&ssPageNam e=STRK:ME:LNL”. The error was: “cannot decode raw data” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1015) Please choose Report Bugs to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.+

Has anyone else experienced similar problems? Webpages i try to load in Safari work fine in Firefox and Flock!

Many thanks

G5 Dual 1.8, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

The problem has to do with how Safari handles GZIP compression used by the website. I run my own site and many of my readers received this error until I disabled GZIP compression. I could duplicate the error 10 out of 10 times, but now it is gone.

Kind of disappointing we have to count on website owners to disable this until Apple issues a fix. On most sites we are SOL.
