今天打算在某个网站下载一个.bz2的文件时，遇到这样一个问题：
Your browser will not accept this data, /mirror.9grid.fr/plan9-1290391203/plan9.iso.bz2, because of its Content-Encoding.
Its Content-Type is application/octet-stream, and Content-Encoding is bzip2.
Your browser accepts Content-Type: */*, image/png, text/plain, text/html, application/xhtml+xml, application/xml.
Your browser accepts Content-Encoding: sdch, deflate, gzip.
我的浏览器是Chrome9 beta。
Google之后看到这样一个Firefox的解决方法：（原文 http://blog.1911census.co.uk/2009/01/content-encoding-error/）
1) In the address bar type “about:config” (but without the inverted commas)
2) Tell it that you will be careful, Promise!!
3) In the filter type encoding
4) There should be one option reading “network.http.accept-encoding”
5) Click in the value column and type “true” (again without the inverted commas)
6) This should fix it and you can search to your hearts content.
试了一下，果然可行。
然后又搜索针对Chrome的类似的解决方案，半小时之后仍然无果 —— Chrome里没有“about:config”的支持。好在在 http://www.surfchen.org/archives/582 看到这样一句话：“chrome支持sdch压缩，另外不再支持bzip2压缩”，很是郁闷。
期待Chrome能早日支持“about:config”。
