Have you installed any fancy program recently then? Or has this been always like this for you? Sorry, as stumped as you are.. If this were related to some external —non add-on— program that registered itself for some specific content type or content encoding, then one would not see the HTTP headers.

The browser would only send the content, not the headers, to that registered program. Arjan good point, but any idea what it might be then? Like I commented above, I assume the behavior is caused by the erroneous zero and extra newline. But I cannot imagine this is related to SE. Arjan I still suspect some browser plugin, might be installed by "innocent" program as well.

Try a different web browser, one other than what you normally use. Can you reproduce it then? Try disabling any anti-virus or firewall software. If you are behind a proxy or corporate firewall, try from home. Jeff Atwood Jeff Atwood k gold badges silver badges bronze badges.
