Content-Encoding set to "none"

    Hi All,

    My WordPress blog pages are returning the HTTP response header:

    Content-Encoding: none

    This is proving problematic for several reasons. I can’t locate anything in Apache or .htaccess that is causing this; is anyone aware of any WP files or plugins that are known to do this?

    Thank you

    Where are you seeing the http response header?

    Usual methods:

    • Webkit Inspector’s network console
    • curl
    • Other http sniffers

    Does the server have gzipped enabled? Are you getting the same errors across all browsers?

    GZip: Yes.

    The resulting error does not come in all browsers, but the “Content-Encoding: none” response header appears in all browsers.

    I actually solved the symptom through some dangerous brute force in .htaccess:
    Header unset Content-Encoding

    Obviously I’m interested in identifying the root cause so I can do away with that overkill directive.
