Comment:

 I think this problem is related to Tomcat compressing responses that are
 at least 2 KiB in size.

 Requesting the 1006 bytes large extra-info descriptor

   http://metrics.torproject.org/extrainfodesc?desc-id=bf015e24

 doesn't have random bytes at the end, but the 2328 bytes large extra-info
 descriptor

   http://metrics.torproject.org/extrainfodesc?desc-id=d96fc846

 has them. I confirmed this observation with other pages, too.

 Can we turn off compression in Tomcat's configuration?
