Dogtag/tomcat on Debian/Ubuntu seems to provide gzipped data which should be unpacked by apache for the web UI, but that's not happening for some reason:

I heard that on Fedora the data is not gzipped, so this bug is not hit there. IPA apache config does have some support for mod_deflate, but looks like it's not complete to support this situation.
after disabling mod_deflate (which is one of the core modules always enabled on Debian) this doesn't happen anymore, so it's actually apache doing the compression and not dogtag
Interesting. I think the proper fix would be enhance the request code to handle gzip'd responses, so it doesn't care whether the response comes gzip'd or not.
There is a simple workaround (config change) so I don't think this will be a high priority, but it shouldn't be a large change either.
well I had to modify plugins/dogtag.py to not accept gzip, since it's uglier to modify conflate.conf
mod_deflate is enabled in Fedora by default but not really configured beyond that. What does your conflate.conf look like so we can try to reproduce?
I don't know where my "conflate" came from :D But deflate.conf has this:
<IfModule mod_deflate.c> <IfModule mod_filter.c> AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript application/javascript application/ecmascript AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml </IfModule> </IfModule>
it's the last rule which should make it reproduceable
