Some Websites not loading

[freddieventura]

Hi , I get many websites not loading with either the following message:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
HTTP/1.0 200 OK

And sometimes w3m gets frozen after that so I have to Ctrl + C to exit the program After that it shows the following message

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file

Im using

Kali linux (Debian)
KDE Plasma
Konsole
w3m/0.5.3+git20200502

maybe w3m -o accept_encoding=identity URL ?

see https://gist.github.com/lidgnulinux/8b5365a870ad81caf35fc8537c614d5c

PS: Mozilla docs and other places mention:

As long as the identity;q=0 or *;q=0 directives do not explicitly forbid the identity value that means no encoding, the server must never return a 406 Not Acceptable error.

Should also be enough to remove gzip from 'Accept-Encoding header' in the options panel or from accept_encoding in the ~/.w3m/config.

This then applies to all sites, of course.
