Yep, your config looks OK to me. Where's the problem compressing
data that didn't start out compressed (or vice versa)?
- Does each member of a FilterChain get called regardless? For
example:
text/html (uncompressed) doesn't match on the gzinflate line, but
would one he next two. I'd end up with compressed output that
wasn't originally compressed.
Yep.
- If so, should I set an environment variable if Content-Encoding =
gzip and then have my gzdeflate provider check for it instead of
operating blindly on all text/* ?
Why?
Or maybe some way to check if the request we're responding to had
Accept-Encoding gzip set?
Aha! That's a different question. mod_deflate has that logic built in
(and has done since before mod_filter existed). See force-gzip in the
docs.
Couple of other points. First, inflate - substitute - deflate is
a lot of computation, so if you can cache it (e.g. with mod_cache)
you could get much better performance. Second, you may want to
look at expression evaluation in apache: mod_filter in 2.3 and
up (but not in 2.2.x) can evaluate complex expressions to
determine whether to run a filter.
