We've been running perl scripts using the www::mechanize module on a linux box with no issues, however we just implemented the same scripts on an aix machine, aix 6.1, perl 5.8.8, and I am running into the issue with Content_Encoding: gzip in the returned html. I can't read it in that it is coming back compressed. I have downloaded the WWW::Mechanize::GZip module, but get the same results. I've tested it on the aix box by just simply pulling homepages from many different websites, and everytime it comes back compressed. The same code has no issues on the Linux box. I have tried using different user_agent parameters as well, but get the same result. Is there anything I'm missing here?
