Lighttpd

I've done some lighttpd test

soymo@lusia ~/tests $ df --sync
(...)
/home/users/soymo/ext2.img
                         15863      1111     13933   8% /tmp/lighttpd
soymo@lusia ~/tests $ printf 'GET /2.jpg HTTP/1.0\r\nAccept-Encoding: gzip\r\n\r\n' | nc localhost 80  | perl -e 'while(<STDIN>) { if(++$i>15) { print }  }' > 2.jpg.gz ; file 2.jpg.gz ; gunzip 2.jpg.gz; file 2.jpg 
2.jpg.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix
2.jpg: JPEG image data, EXIF standard 2.2
soymo@lusia ~/tests $ printf 'GET /3.jpg HTTP/1.0\r\nAccept-Encoding: gzip\r\n\r\n' | nc localhost 80  | perl -e 'while(<STDIN>) { if(++$i>15) { print }  }' > 3.jpg.gz ; file 3.jpg.gz ; gunzip 3.jpg.gz; file 3.jpg 
3.jpg.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix

gunzip: 3.jpg.gz: unexpected end of file
3.jpg: cannot open `3.jpg' (No such file or directory)
soymo@lusia ~/tests $ df --sync

In this situation mozilla shows cutted image. Next file won't be compressed, but when you request again to this file (3.jpg) - it'll be cutted (mod_compress cache).

Lightttpd doesn't log any informtion about it in error.log.

You can use zcat to uncompress this data (gunzip -f don't work).
