Hi folks
I'm using apache (2.4.3) as reverse proxy with mod_proxy_html (as
delivered with 2.4.3) and encountered an issue using HTML rewriting in
combination with content compression, as with the "Accept-Encoding" and
"Content-Encoding" HTTP headers.
This issue has been encountered by numerous people and the solution
presented always comes down to setting the output filters "manually"
instead of using the mod_proxy_html directive to do it (e.g. see
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-908890-start-0.html). So it boils
down to setting
SetOutputFilter INFLATE;proxy-html;DEFLATE
instead of
ProxyHTMLEnable On
In my test setup this actually solved the problem but it has a side
effect which I am worried about.
In file modules/filters/mod_proxy_html.c function proxy_html_insert()
it's clearly visible the xml2enc function is only called if cfg->enabled
is set - which in turn is set via the ProxyHTMLEnable directive as
declared with
AP_INIT_FLAG("ProxyHTMLEnable", ap_set_flag_slot,
(void*)APR_OFFSETOF(proxy_html_conf, enabled),
RSRC_CONF|ACCESS_CONF,
"Enable proxy-html and xml2enc filters")
I took a look at mod_xml2enc to see if there was a directive which I
could use to establish the filtering in a way that matches the
ProxyHTMLEnable directive but I could fine none.
Is there a way to work around this ? I do want the call to mod_xml2enc
to happen but I also want the reverse proxy to support content compression.
Any suggestions on how to go forward/where to dig on this issue ?
Regards,
Thomas
