A POC slightly better than the above conf lines,

Adds an input filter ETAG that can be used like below, along with DEFLATE

to let apache recognize ($1)-gzip as $1

AddInputFilter ETAG .txt
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain

Neat little fix (insofar as that problem admits of a neat fix).
But I dislike using an input filter just to manipulate request headers
(that's what processing hooks are for), and the sysop shouldn't
have to configure it.

Does something bad happen if you put the check in a post_read_request
hook instead?
