Can you elaborate on the "save as" scenario? The spec does talk about downloads. Seems to me that my browser does undo the encodings when I download something. Say I save a text file sent over HTTP. with Content Encoding set to gzip. It won't give me a txt.gz file, right? thanks Dev On 12 March 2014 22:54, Boris Zbarsky <bzbarsky@mit.edu> wrote: > On 3/13/14 1:37 AM, Devdatta Akhawe wrote: >> >> Does "representation" or "the message payload before content codings >> are applied." sound right to others?
