Hi All,

I have a plugin that goes off and does some xmlrpc stuff with wordpress. When I am logged in as the administrator this all works fine, however when I am logged in as a user I get the following error only when gzip is enabled

ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED

This is a browser error, usually displayed when the headers say the page is encoded but it is not encoded.

So I am wondering what may lead to this as I can't see anything that would cause it. I even tried doing an ob_flush() before the output just in case.

The output code is simple

	//show them a message saying thanks
	$title = "Your article has been submitted";
	$error = $message;
	eval("\$html .= \"".$templates->get("error")."\";");
	ob_flush();
	output_page($html);
	exit();	


I cant see why this would end up causing an encoding error, but am I missing something here?

This is all called via a plugin and used on misc.php

As soon as I turn of gzip it all works fine.
