Released: Modify Headers 0.6.4 and XHTML Mobile Profile 0.5.3
Both Modify Headers and XHTML Mobile Profile have been updated this week.
Version 0.6.4 of Modify Headers fixes a nsIObserver interface problem with the add-on working in Firefox 3 beta. XHTML Mobile Profile 0.5.3 adds support for the content type application/vnd.wap.multipart.mime.

Gareth…
Thanks for this brilliant Add-on (Modify Headers), which has alleviated my problem of compression in Firefox via a 3G broadband link.
No chance I suppose of something similar for IE7?!?
If not, perhaps I could trouble you for a suggestion to modify ‘Cache-Control’ to ‘no transform’ in IE7 (?).
Thanks again.

Hi Tony,
I don’t plan on doing something similar for IE 7. But you might be able to find an IE 7 addon that does.
BTW, feel free to post in a comment a description (or link to it) of how you are using Modify Headers for your compression problem. I use it for mobile web development, but I’m always interested to see the other uses it has.
Cheers,
Gareth

Gareth…..
Simple (thanks to you!)
Firefox > Modify Headers > ‘Add’ > (Name) Cache-Control > (Value) no-transform > Configuration > (check) Always on……
See: http://www.moreati.org.uk/blog/ (February 28, 2008).
This solves the problem of compressed data to my laptop, via T-Mobile (UK) 3G broadband link.
I prefer Firefox over IE7, but the latter sometimes inevitable. There must be a similar solution (can’t find it)!?!
Cheers,
Tony
