Perhaps try to find what's dealing with gzip at the Apache level
(I've never seen such errors, so it's a wide guess)?<br>
<br>
I let you debug on your side, check:<br>
<br>
$ curl -X GET -v 10.11.161.159/cgi/local_login -H 'Accept-Encoding:
gzip, deflate'<br>
<br>
< HTTP/1.1 <b>401 Authorization Required</b><br>

< Vary: Accept-Encoding<br>
< <b>Content-Encoding: gzip</b><br>
< Content-Length: 20<br>
< Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1<br>
#<br>
# no content<br>

We do not have mod_deflate in our Apache/http conf.

Subject: [EP-tech] Re: Unable to login after upgrading from 3.2.8 to 3.3.8
Hi Alex,
I'm getting an odd behaviour, perhaps because of a mis-configuration at the Apache level....
I run a few tests with cURL, and I noticed that when using the HTTP header 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' (note: this is sent by Firefox), your Apache server returns a 401 without content. Without that header, I get the content from EPrints as expected. I think this comes from Apache because the format of the 401 response doesn't look like EPrints'.
Check if you have mod_deflate (responsible for gzip/deflate) in your Apache/httpd conf, if so, disable it & try again.
Seb.

Yes, we are using a "special login" which you set up for us some months ago when we found that off-campus users could log into Eprints.
I tried:
firefox <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://10.11.161.159/cgi/local_login"><font color="red"><b>MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:</b></font> http://10.11.161.159/cgi/local_login</a>?
firefox <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://10.11.161.159/cgi/users/home"><font color="red"><b>MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:</b></font> http://10.11.161.159/cgi/users/home</a>?
firefox <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://10.11.161.159/cgi/users/login"><font color="red"><b>MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:</b></font> http://10.11.161.159/cgi/users/login</a>?
All the above fail to return anything.
Also, accessing <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://10.11.161.159"><font color="red"><b>MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:</b></font> http://10.11.161.159</a> with IE8 results in the top half of the home page being blackened out, as you will probably be able verify for yourself.
Regards,
Alex
