A quick test confirms that it *is* sent compressed when requested by the
user agent, just as other page views are. For it to behave otherwise
would be surprising, since the default LocalSettings.php engages
compression buffering before the check for the 'action' parameter is made.
You can test this by doing for instance 'telnet
en.wikipedia.org 80' and
pasting in this request:
GET /w/index.php?title=Cornell_Box&action=raw HTTP/1.1
Host:
en.wikipedia.org
Accept-Encoding: gzip
You'll get back some lovely binary garbage. Try it again without the
Accept-Encoding header, and you see lovely plain text.
My mistake - just seen what my problem is, it was to do with my program not
setting the headers properly, and a bit of weirdness from my browser.
Using telnet is rather a neat demo :)
If you've got a problem on your own site, check
that your PHP
installation is configured with zlib support and that you haven't
removed the compression line from your LocalSettings.php.
No problem on my site, but thanks.
