FWIW, I also tried a react-static project. Maybe there's a quirk in live-tunnel-client that explains the content encoding error.

Noticed this bug as well. It looks like an issue that live-tunnel-client has with compression.

I could get the pages to load properly on the browser by making it send the following header: Accept-Encoding: gzip;q=0,deflate;q=0 with an extension that can override request headers (such as ModHeaders)
