Okay, it doesn't literally *force* me to use gzip, but it does tell me the client doesn't accept gzip encoding, instead of the data I want to retrieve.
Can you give me a sample URL which replies with this error?
Anyway, if you don't mind patching mirc.exe and using my "solution", you could use gzip encoding. Which version are you using?
I'm using 6.35. Somehow I have my doubts about patching though, I'm somewhat afraid it will break things.
It's up to you. The modification only changes 2 bytes. And it doesn't target anything else.
The last solution, if the server response can't be fixed for "deflate" requests, it to remove the "Accept-Encoding:" header from your requests.
