JIRA is connecting to Confluence through a reverse-proxy that has GZip compression enabled. As both JIRA and Confluence also have GZip compression enabled this is causing problems as double compression is applied.
Resolution
- Disable GZip compression in JIRA as in Configuring JIRA Options.
- Disable HTTP Compression in Confluence as described in Compressing an HTTP Response within Confluence.
