ACTION-44 - HTML Issue Tracking

re: <http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/44>

Last week I was asked to collect test results for the content sniffing 
tests. I'd like to delay that until such time the tests actually do what 
they're supposed to do (WRT Content-Encoding):

 > The tests at 
<http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/http/content-type/sniffing/> are 
somewhat broken; case 8 through 10 are supposed to trigger content 
sniffing (as per HTML5, 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-html5-20080122/#content-type-sniffing>), 
but don't, as the server sends the response with Content-Encoding: gzip 
(see <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Jan/0235.html>).

BR, Julian
