Chrome Error 330 (net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED)


The Question: When I enter the page: http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js
I am getting Error 330 (net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED). But when I try to
use FF, it works.
BTW, the facebook social widgets (which load this file) is not working on
Chrome. I have the latest version.
What is wrong?

I reinstalled Chrome and it fixed the problem.

I had this affecting all web pages (not even Google would load).
Closing Chrome and starting it again solved it for me so far. If it turns out
to be a recurring problem, I'll try re-installing Chrome.

This can happen when an HTTP request's headers claim that the content is gzip
encoded, but it isn't. This happened to me just now on Wordpress where I had WP
Super Cache's gzip compression enabled. Normally it worked fine, but when I
dumped some content out before the page was properly generated, it screwed up
the compression.
Resolution if you're the web developer: turn off gzip encoding or make sure the
content is in fact encoded.

Reason also could be your antivirus web shield. In my case I had issues with a
lot of css files, so I set exclusion rule for css files. Try turning the shield
off for a minute, reload the page you have problems with (use full reload,
Ctrl+F5). If it works, try to exclude js files (you can also do it for css
files before you even get such problems with them) from your web shield

I had a client using an older theme that used php and declared: ob_start
("ob_gzhandler");
Thing is Apache was config'd the server gzip'd content so the content was
compressed "twice" this caused the same error in chrome for me.
