As I never used this mode ever (FORCE_DEFLATE), it seems to be used quite often:

http://www.google.com/codesearch#search/&q=gzencode%20lang:php%20FORCE_DEFLATE&type=cs

I wonder how this change actually affects existing code, apps or
tools, in real applications. Obviously the tests were failing due to
the output change but does it affect an application using the data (be
a php or any other app)?

ps: I did not try nor read carefully the specs&docs :)


Cheers,
