Description

Getting or viewing *.svgz file(which is essentially a gzipped *.svg file) is broken. Browser shows following:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://mydomain.com/mywiki/somepage?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=example.svgz
Line Number 1, Column 1:

Steps to reproduce

1. Attach *.svgz file to some wiki page
2. Try to view or get it

Example

• *.svg file which should be fine

• *.svgz file which causes error

• *.svg.gz file which causes same error

• *.tar.gz file for comparison

• *.tgz file for comparison

Component selection

• general

Details

After some disscussion on irc here is what seems to be correct:

• python should have .svgz -> .svg.gz map in mimetypes.suffix_map, that is python issue which can be worked around by modifying mimtypes in wiki configs.

• moinmoin should add 'Content-Encoding: gzip' http header for *.svgz files
  • if this is done, firefox will decompress the file, but nevertheless save it as example.svg.gz (or .svgz), which is wrong, because it is not gzipped any more.

This Wiki.

Workaround

• In order to workaround .svgz -> .svg.gz map issue I have added following to moin.cgi file:

import mimetypes
mimetypes.suffix_map['.svgz'] = '.svg.gz'
