Apple Safari / Firefox browser errors

[wildeep]

Has something changed on the gassing station this afternoon as safari is refusing to load any threads?. It will display the main list of forums, but clicking on any links brings up "bad server response (NSURLErrorDomain:-1011)" . Internet explorer works fine.

Yup same here, started between 7:07pm and 7:18pm if thats any help.

Same thing here with Firefox.

I'm having to use MicroShaft Explorer to access and write this.

[wildeep]

Had a bit of a search and think it seems to be something to do with the web server using gzip encoding to trasfer the html files, but if it not configured to exclude already gzipped files safari gets a bit confused. Are you guys both using safari 1.2?.

No I'm using Mozilla Firefox.

Yup 1.2.1, should be the latest version, never happened before and I haven't done anything to the system so I assume it's something serverside.

mmm, strange. seems to work ok with the topic.asp pages like www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=101962 but not with any forum.asp pages

Now I'm now getting an error popup saying

"The file default1.htm cannot be found. Please check the location and try again"

When I try to go to the main page on Firefox. Explorer (on at the moment) is fine.

I've also changed the title slightly, as it's just not Apple

On IE whenever I try to go into GG or other sections i come up with an error. However I can still view threads with the whats new buttons.

Bizarrely, I cannot get beyond Gassing Home with IE6 but seems ok with Firefox...

[wildeep]

seems to be working OK again now for me

[bad boy]

im just on normal internet explorer and could get into gassing station and the homepage but not any of the actual forums. really thought it was something at my end.....
edited to say after reading the above posts the same as everyone else....

Sorry chaps. My fault. Was experimenting with a different compression mechanism.

I was using XCompress but that recently started to encounter problems. Tried HTTPzip with no joy and just tried Isapizip but that exhibited the weird behaviour you described.

[thebluemonkey]

Safari's working the properly now.

[PetrolTed]

I've disabled it again now.

[FourWheelDrift]

hummmm.....On Firefox I can get in with www.pistonheads.com/gassing/ and see all forums but www.pistonheads.com is still giving the cannot find default1.htm error.

Even when I click the Pistonheads link to the main page from Gassing.

Clear cache job, or something else?

[PetrolTed]

Probably cache as everything this end is now disabled.

[FourWheelDrift]

Yep, was that. All working again

with XP SP2 IE, i could see threads fine (when the server was up) but I couldnt see the listings of the forums themselves, returned a DNS / Server Error page.

Works again now.
