[nag] Nag and Links

[Wil Van Cleve]

Nag Folks -

I'm not a major gearhead, so I'm afraid I don't have a very technical 
description of the bug I found or how I fixed it, but I think it's 
real, so I'll offer it up.

I was playing with links in the head releases of horde, nag, and turba, 
and found that if I had a client link in a nag task, the task output 
was, well, warped. The task no longer fully displayed in view.php, and 
the output of the client (turba contact) was screwy as well.

After a morning of tearing out my hair, I found the problem : when 
turba is called to deal with the contact, it loads its base.php, and 
calls Horde::compressOutput();

This function checks to make sure output isn't already being compressed 
(assuming horde is configured to compress). If horde is configured to 
compress output, and compression hasn't started yet, it starts here 
(late) and output is warped.

So : I found two solutions

1) Comment out the call to Horde::compressOutput(); in the horde base 
lib (which seems silly) or

2) Add a call to Horde::compressOutput(); in the nag base lib.

I'm not a nag developer, and I don't know if that's how you want to fix 
this problem, but there it stands.

Happy New Year to all.

Yours,
