Hi Jan, 

That is excellent! Thanks a lot for the fix.

I hope we can upgrade the version of Jetty used in FishEye/Crucible soon.

Best Regards,
Nick Pellow.

> The GzipFilter only excludes zipping mime-types of application/gzip.
> If a file is of type application/x-gzip it gets double-zipped, and needs to be uncompressed twice on the client.
> The following is from the Javadoc on GzipFilter:
> {quote}
>  * The content-type is in the comma separated list of mimeTypes set in the <code>mimeTypes</code> initParameter or
>  * if no mimeTypes are defined the content-type is not "application/gzip"
>  
> {quote}
> This should be extended to:
> {quote}
>  * if no mimeTypes are defined the content-type is not "application/gzip" or *"application/x-gzip"*
> {quote}
> application/x-gzip is the official mime-type for compressed files.
> And this is also what most clients will use when sending files to the server.
