I have published file http://www.common-lisp.net/project/fucc/files/fucc-0.1.tar.gz.asc. This is plain text file (PGP signature). But when I open the URL, server sends "Content-Encoding: x-gzip" header, and Firefox displays just empty page failing to decompress plain text file. I attempted to add "RemoveEncoding .gz" to .htaccess in /project/fucc/public_html/, but without success.
You use Apache 1.3, but I have only documentation for Apache 2.0. Perhaps, I should add another directive, or local configuration filename is changed, isn't it?
