NN-4.X sends HTTP header Accept-Encoding: gzip
requesting any web content. Unfortunately NN-4.X fails to ungzip css files and JavaScript libraries. It is pretty old and well-known bug in NN-4.X. To work around this bug mod_gzip uses internal procedures for recognition of NN-4.X. The similar approach is used in mod_deflate. Apache::GzipChain does not have internal resources to work around this bug. You can find on CPAN http://search.cpan.org/author/SLAVA/Apache-CompressClientFixup-0.06/ which is supposed to serve any mod_perl compressor including Apache::GzipChain, but this handler is missed in example on p.402. # From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] # To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 20:05:06 +0200 # # ...
