            Bug ID: 54255
           Summary: mod_deflate adjusts the headers "too late", should
                    have a fixups hook
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.5-HEAD
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_deflate
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified

When mod_deflate is used to inflate, it must adjust the request headers (e.g.
it needs to remove the "Content-Length" header and adjust the
"Content-Encoding" header).

Currently mod_deflate adjusts the headers when the request body is read. But
this is too late. For example, if a content generator module needs to look at
the request headers before reading the request body, the content generator
module "sees" the old (unmodified) headers.

mod_deflate should adjust the headers in an early stage, for example in a fixup
hook (ap_hook_fixups).

I assume that some other bugs are also caused by this issue, e.g. bug 52595.
