I've noticed an issue with using mod_include virtual includes and mod_deflate on 2.2.8.
I've paired down a reproducer: Setup - fresh install of Apache 2.2.8 built using --enable-layout=Apache --enable-deflate Using attached httpd.conf (changes Listen, enables compression and includes) mkdir /usr/local/apache2/ssi cat ssi/index.html <h1>Included</h1> cat htdocs/test.shtml START <!--#include virtual="/ssi/"--> END curl -o ~/test -vv -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip' http://localhost:8081/test.shtml * About to connect() to localhost port 8081 (#0) * Trying ::1... connected * Connected to localhost (::1) port 8081 (#0) > GET /test.shtml HTTP/1.1 > User-Agent: curl/7.16.3 (powerpc-apple-darwin9.0) libcurl/7.16.3 > OpenSSL/0.9.7l zlib/1.2.3 > Host: localhost:8081 > Accept: */* > Accept-Encoding: gzip > < HTTP/1.1 200 OK < Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 13:49:27 GMT < Server: Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) < Accept-Ranges: bytes < Vary: Accept-Encoding < Content-Encoding: gzip < Transfer-Encoding: chunked < Content-Type: text/html < file ~/test /Users/pnasrat/test: data hexdump -C ~/test 00000000 3c 68 31 3e 49 6e 63 6c 75 64 65 64 3c 2f 68 31 |<h1>Included</h1| 00000010 3e 0a 1f 8b 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 0b 0e 71 0c |>.............q.| 00000020 0a e1 e2 72 f5 73 e1 02 00 bd 52 71 7a 0b 00 00 |.??r?s?..?Rqz...| 00000030 00 |.| 00000031 $ dd if=~/test of=~/foo.gz bs=1 skip=18 31+0 records in 31+0 records out 31 bytes transferred in 0.000457 secs (67862 bytes/sec) $ file ~/foo.gz /Users/pnasrat/foo.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix $ gzcat ~/foo.gz START END Also replicated on 2.2.x branch, I was hoping the fix for PR 44447, changeset on branch 637902 might be related but no joy.
