From df09d854828bcff56eb72f48ff1ba8fce7e90c90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aymeric Augustin Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2014 21:24:05 +0200 Subject: Fixed #17552 -- Removed a hack for IE6 and earlier. It prevented the GZipMiddleware from compressing some data types even on more recent version of IE where the corresponding bug was fixed. Thanks Aaron Cannon for the report and Tim Graham for the review. --- docs/ref/middleware.txt | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'docs/ref') diff --git a/docs/ref/middleware.txt b/docs/ref/middleware.txt index d5958dfebd..7b7b76b567 100644 --- a/docs/ref/middleware.txt +++ b/docs/ref/middleware.txt @@ -108,11 +108,6 @@ It will NOT compress content if any of the following are true: * The request (the browser) hasn't sent an ``Accept-Encoding`` header containing ``gzip``. -* The request is from Internet Explorer and the ``Content-Type`` header - contains ``javascript`` or starts with anything other than ``text/``. - We do this to avoid a bug in early versions of IE that caused decompression - not to be performed on certain content types. - You can apply GZip compression to individual views using the :func:`~django.views.decorators.gzip.gzip_page()` decorator. -- cgit v1.3
