Won't read gzipped FITS files

[DrPhilEvans]

HI,
I was just testing trying this out for the first time, as I could use some FITS interface for javascript, and it fails to open a gzipped event list.

Code (using jquery):

$(document).ready(reset);
function reset()
{
  var url="/some/url/test.fits.gz";
  var FITS=astro.FITS;
  var fits=new FITS(url, loadedFits);
}

function loadedFits()
{
  console.log("This file has "+this.hdus.length+" HDUs");
}

If I unzip test.fits.gz and update the URL it works, otherwise the page hangs until my browser times out. It's not a very large fits file.

Hi Bretton - I just clicked on the "Report issue" button on the github page - for https://github.com/astrojs/fitsjs - which I got to from a link from the NASA FITS pags https://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/fits_libraries.html That looks to me to be newer than the astrojs/astrojs package, is that not correct? Thanks Phil
