@mqudsi As you said, there should be two headers: * the content type and * the content compression. The former is the MIME type and the latter would be the GZIP compression. It is unfortunate that Apache (and maybe others?) only relies on the extension to MIME type mapping but this seems to be an implementation detail. In general, as you noted as well, the compression happens dynamically nowadays and there is no need to even generate .svgz files anymore. That didn't used to be the case in the past. IMO .svgz should be seen as a legacy and not exercized anymore. It would take years to get clients and backends implementing it and the confusion might be even bigger. It doesn't seem worth the cost to potentially avoid the double compression. -- GitHub Notification of comment by dirkschulze Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/701#issuecomment-503408042 using your GitHub account
