[oXygen-user] [Bug] Compressed SVG files not opened

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi Tim,

Actually the specification says something like this:

> Additionally, HTTP/1.1 allows for compressed data to be passed from server to client, which can result in significant file size reduction.

It refers to the fact that an HTTP client can set in the HTTP header 
fields a value called:

> Accept-Encoding:gzip

and then the server can send back the HTTP response GZipped, the client 
having to unzip the response. Oxygen also supports this kind of zipping 
content between HTTP client and server.

But indeed it is also common to GZip SVGs (usually with the ".svgz" 
extension) and Oxygen should also be able to open such zipped SVG files 
(with any extension) in the SVG viewer. So if you have a sample which 
does not work you could send it to "support at oxygenxml.com" and we'll 
take a look at it.

Regards,
Radu
