Hi, I have been using Svgz files for a while now but the last couple of updates for illustrator the svgz files do not work. I have never been able to view these files till they were on the server So I would make both SVG and svgz files use the SVG to visually code then add the z to the file name on the server this worked well.

The Files always generate this Error in a browser window but not once served via a correctly configured webserver
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 1: Encoding error
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

I have just upgraded to 24.2.1 But believe this issue started maybe with issue 23 or even 22

I have a lot of files created with previous versions of illustrator they all generate this code but display perfectly in their web pages.

All the new files just display as a missing file icon but the file generated from the same ai file but exported to SVG display perfectly So I assume the problem must be in the encoding.

Sorry, i cannot be more specific I can supply samples of the file which work and files which don't. If that will help.
