Hi,

next problem arising when trying content-compression: Squid seems to
ignore my "Vary: Accept-Encoding" header. From the logs (log_mime_hdr
on, inserted line breaks for better reading):

No Accept-Encoding in the request Headers, but i get a HIT from a
(previously cached) request with "Accept-Encoding: gzip" and so
Content-Encoding: gzip in the reply to my Request without
Accept-Encoding (and yes, the response was gzipped).

Any Idea? Could this be the result of a missing validator (Etag) and i
will have to enable "broken_vary_encoding" ?!?

Regards,
Stefan


I have heard this before in here. What version of Squid?

broken_vary_encoding copes with servers sending gzip data with plain text type.

The requests you have shown does not specify any limits on the data type accepted back. Squid treats it as anything the client version of HTTP can receive is acceptable.

I believe if you added a Accept-Encoding: header with values other than 'gzip' which Squid has stored you would get back something else for that encoding.
