   Hello,

   When I login to the admin tool on my site using 2.8, I noticed none of the CSS or Javascript was working. I used Firefox's web developer toolbar to "View CSS" and it came back gobbledy-gook (all corrupt).

   I replaced all CSS files with fresh ones in the /wp-admin/css/ directory, but that didn't help at all.

   I then decided to try to upgrade to 2.8.1 to see if that would just fix my problem.

   When I tried to click on the Upgrade to 2.8.1 link in the footer of the admin tool, I got the error:

   Warning: gzuncompress() [function.gzuncompress]: data error in /[my full path]/wp-includes/http.php on line 1792

   So I upgraded via my dreamhost account which does the back-up and then replaces the files. That seemed to work, kinda.

   CSS was restored, but Javascript (including AJAX, JQuery) are not working in Admin tool.

   When I look at the Error Console in Firefox, I find this javascript error:

   Error: illegal character
   Source File: http://www.jctonline.org/wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=1&load=jquery,utils&ver=d24248fe4b0cd62086633fd42ef1019b
   Line: 1
   Source Code:
   �is�H�&����"M����;Ӥa���M��͔����*�T��e�����y��L$@JU}cf�x+�-H$r9y�e��_

   My users have come to rely on the user-friendly nature of the admin tool in wordpress.

   How can I get the javascript to come back?

   Thanks,
   Lori

   Okay, so I tried removing the version from the querystring and accessing the javascript directly via this URL:

   http://www.jctonline.org/wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=1&load=jquery,utils

   And some javascript now loads, but I'm not sure if it is all of it or how to remove the version from within the application.

   Any suggestions?

   I was able to fix this by replacing the http.php file as sbruner suggested in this thread:

   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278585?replies=35

   He uploaded http.php replacement here:

   http://www.slipfire.com/download/http.txt

   The only weird thing remaining for me is that I already was up to 2.8.1 but I replaced the http.php with what he provided anyway and it seemed to make the "Warning: gzuncompress() [function.gzuncompress]...." errors go away.

   I then closed all browsers and reopened. My javascript seems to be loading properly now as well as CSS.
