I'm not an expert in this, but that statement seems completely wrong to me. Compressing the content is a content-encoding, not a transfer-encoding. The only thing transfer-encoding is used for in HTTP is chunking. I see nothing wrong other than the fact that the browser is passing compressed content to a plugin that can't handle it. > > http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22902 > > Any ideas on this subject ? It seems to me that we should only recommend the "AddOutputFilterByType" configuration, since compressing everything has too many potential problems. Joshua.
