             Bug #: 53121
           Summary: Confusing documentation, gzip and deflate
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.22
          Platform: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_deflate
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


The module is actually using gzip no matter what client request, so the
documentation should warn at the top of documentation, state clearly that this
module only output "gzip", no actual deflate is ever supported.

e.g.

Added in config: 

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml


Test:

curl -I -H  'Accept-Encoding: gzip' http://www.example.com
Content-Encoding: gzip


curl -I -H  'Accept-Encoding: deflate' http://www.example.com
Content-Encoding: gzip


So, no actual deflate is ever supported.
