Description

Files ending in .gz served up by pulp.server.content.web.views are served with an incorrect content type and encoding.

This affects .xml.gz files generated by yum-distributor. For example:

$ curl -v http://192.168.121.51/pulp/repos/f04a1d5b-32d8-4a60-a580-cc158ab25004/repodata/5f90923d6f2e4b3d0f27c13e927821b9a7001b349f99222752c37496a40531d8-updateinfo.xml.gz > /dev/null

The server incorrectly claims that the response content is Content-Type: text/xml, with no Content-Encoding.
It should be: Content-Type: text/xml, Content-Encoding: gzip.

It looks like this can't be made to work correctly with mod_xsendfile, since that module discards any Content-Encoding header.
If that won't be fixed then some other options could be:

  • set Content-Type: application/x-gzip, if mimetypes.guess_type guessed an encoding of gzip
  • set Content-Type: application/octet-stream, if mimetypes.guess_type guessed any encoding other than None
