 Modify need_cgi so that it looks for cgi.c instead of cgi.  This is a fix
 for the case insensitive filesystem correction listed below.

 t/next_available_port.t doesn't need mod_cgid, use need_cgi instead
 of need_module('mod_cgi.c')

unsupported compression issue seen in 2.3.5-alpha

[Paul Querna]

Hi,

For www.apache.org (and all TLP websites), we have received increased
reports about invalid compression issues.

Previously, we have heard about sporadic issues with Firefox only, and
these were always resolved by users by clearing their cache, this
issue seems to be a good description of it:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=366023

However, the newest reports have been about multiple browsers,
Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and IE8, all reporting the issue at the same
time.  This makes be believe that the problem is something on the
server side.

If you look at the history of mod_deflate:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/filters/mod_deflate.c?view=log

r821471 is the only change in the last year -- and it changes how
buckets are used -- and I view it as suspect in relation to the volume
of reports we have received from users, but we don't have any firm
evidence.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Paul
