Mediawiki asks to save a .gz file instead of opening links

Hi there,

I'm experiencing an issue on a wiki i've installed several months ago.

the addresses: http://it.opencrafts.org/wiki http://en.opencrafts.org/wiki

the issue: When clicking any url to navigate through the wiki pages, sometimes the browser asks to save a .gz file. The filename depends on the page that has been clicked, f.eg "Main_Page.gz". Inside the archive there is a file Main_Page.html of 1KB.

other notes: The issue occurs on SRWare Iron (Chromium) Version 23.0.1300.0 (170000) Firefox does not seem to suffer from this problem, and so it's for Chrome 24.0.1312.52 m

Does anybody know why this happens?

I'm confused. Does it occur with "Chrome 24.0.1312.52" ?

I think this would be an issue you need to report to SRWare, not here. It sounds like a problem with compression handling with that browser.

It does not happen with chrome. I'll try to contact SRWare, despite the fact that it's happening since january, before i couldn't notice it, maybe it's due to a browser upgrade... the weird thing is that on the "pool" installation used as repository (mediafiles.opencrafts.org) i can't replicate the behaviour.

However i'm slightly relievied by the fact that Iron is not such a widespread browser, so users won't notice this issue.

It IS happening to me on Chrome, Version 29.0.1547.66 m. I'm not sure if it's the browser or the specific MediaWiki install, but it tends to happen if you click a link before the page is done loading? 75.80.146.216 18:04, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

I've clicked around on your wiki and can't duplicate this at all.

This has been happening to me for the past two weeks now.

It happens on my wiki site, with Chrome but also with Mozilla
