Lix no longer supports the non-standard HTTP Content-Encoding values `xz` and `bzip2`.
|
||
|
|
We do not expect this to cause any problems in practice since these encodings *aren't*
|
||
|
|
standard, and any server delivering them anyway without being asked to is already well
|
||
|
|
and truly set on the path of causing inexplicable client breakages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lix's ability to decompress files compressed with `xz` or `bzip2` is unaffected. We're
|
||
|
|
only bringing Lix more in line with the HTTP standard; all post-transfer data handling
|
||
|
|
remains as it was before.
