#1128: GZIP encoding with multiple members
--------------------------------------------+-------------------------------
 Reporter:  zviratko                        |        Type:  defect  
   Status:  new                             |    Priority:  normal  
Milestone:                                  |   Component:  varnishd
  Version:  3.0.0                           |    Severity:  normal  
 Keywords:  gzip encoding multiple streams  |  
--------------------------------------------+-------------------------------
 GZIP RFC allows multiple streams to be concatenated and then decompressed
 as one.
 Varnish fails in this scenario with:

 {{{
 FetchError   c straight read_error: -1 0 (Junk after gzip data)
 }}}

 Client is served a 503.

 In my case, the data in question is a JSON response made from two chunks,
 each compressed in application and served as one response (with correct
 headers and length). I confirmed the data is fine, and it works fine in
 browsers (apart from chrome/chromium that has a bug here as well).

 The only solution around this not serving it compressed to varnish, or
 using pipe.

 Attached is an example that causes this bug.
