Hi Scott,
In my understanding your script responds correctly from the configuration
<Directory /usr/local/systems/work/>
PerlSendHeader On
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
# AUTH
AuthType Apache::Authenticate
AuthName protected
PerlAccessHandler Apache::OpenAccess
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::Authenticate->authenticate
require valid-user
</Directory>
Please, let me know if I'm wrong.
Assuming it does, you would probably better try the following replacement:
<Directory /usr/local/systems/work/>
PerlSendHeader On
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::RegistryFilter Apache::Dynagzip
PerlSetVar Filter On
PerlSetVar LightCompression On
Options +ExecCGI
# AUTH
AuthType Apache::Authenticate
AuthName protected
PerlAccessHandler Apache::OpenAccess
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::Authenticate->authenticate
require valid-user
</Directory>
It should compress all output from this directory.
When you need to distinguish compression between different types of output,
it's the most simple solution to run each type of outgoing content from the
own directory. You might have one compressed directory and one plain then.
Otherwise you need to write your own fixup handler to turn compression off
dynamically.
Please let me know if it works for you.
Thanks,
Slava
